US (especially LA) needs more K-cars. But really, only 30mpg? How is the city mileage? They need to lighten these suckers up. I liked the review. US (especially LA) needs more K-cars.

Never let one critic stop you from doing anything. He can just not read the car reviews. Pretty simple. frazgo, you can’t please everyone. Never let one critic stop you from doing anything.

Why always ford? Because Ford is the only manufacturer that gets blogs and bloggers as real media and offer up cars for review to us like the traditional print media. My contacts at GM got laid off so no more GM cars. Toyota and Honda don't even respond to requests. BMW has cold shouldered as well. Since the "review" offended I won't do anymore.

I like how he describes the diesel engine. Then, around 4:14 into it, it gets MUCH better. Jeremy, you are absolutely right!

US standards are designed to protect the car, because those kids shouldn't have run into the road anyway.
