My car, as you put it, was a fiasco for Subaru. They built a beautiful car nobody wanted. I may love the car, but since not many people agreed when it was on the showroom floor for $35k, it didn't sell. That's how it works.
We should agree on this then. I'm commending Ford for leaving the mainstream once and building a car the way it should be built. That's all.

No chastising was done here. I commended Ford, i didn't "dis" any company in particular.

Performance is what makes a "sports car" great. Horsepower is what makes a "sports car" SELL great. Therefore, horsepower is what's important. I'm not saying it's right, i'm just saying that's how it is.
