What's your beef with Toyota?
Toyotas are ugly, and just not very good cars. I hate the way the media kisses their ass

Short lived GM Engines
Dont forget the 1969 ZL-1 All aluminum 427. Rated a ridiculously low 430 hP, but dyno tests show it closer to 560 hp with the headers that would com in the trunk of the car. 1965 396/425 HP Then there was stuff like the GMC 305 v6 in the 60's

I thought the new Vibe was ugly until i saw the Matrix on Motrweek. That thing is HIDEOUS. It has that Toyota smashed in pig face.

There was a buick 3.2 v6 in the 70's, a buick 3.0 in the mid 80's and a buick 3.3 in the early 90's, and of course the 4.1 4bbl version of the 80s. All based on the 3.8 Chevy also made a 3.3 in 78 and 79. I had one in my 78 Malibu Coupe. It ran much better without all that emissions junk on it. The dual jet carb sucked though. It was a cut down Quadrajet with the secondaries removed. Therliest ones were even used the quadrajet casting.

Ha Ha. Hopefully this will be a trend for the year.

FORD January 08 Sales
I can't believe anyone would buy a Focus. It looks like a bad mix of a 92 Escort and a 70's Jap compact car. It is good thing for Ford that people who typically buy Fords don't expect much from their cars and are happy if they can go a couple months without problems.

September 2007: Ford Motor Company
Some are not that old but they are boring and bland. Then you have ancient ones like Ranger and Crown Vc and many half assed efforts or rebadges like Taurus, Fucos, and the entire Mercury and Lincoln lineup. Motor trend said it best. LINCOLN is just a Ford trim level.

September 2007: Ford Motor Company
The "new" Taurus sells worse than the 500 did. I don't see anything really good products coming from Ford any time soon.

Very cheap looking inside and out. Yuck!- Everybody says
The 83 T-bird was good but the Taurus sucked then still sucks today! The Tempo was such a POS. It made the old 80's Escorts look like good cars - 2008 Focus at the Georgian College Autoshow
