Thats quite some contraption youve found there!
No where in the text does it mention that the twin cam is in the back :lol: and mounted low, so must be be really good for handling...

There is a phrase that springs to mind here.....

"one can't polish a turd"

wonder if the ford badge will carge into a Lancia one shortly?

There are easier ways to get great handling

Have owned a few cars over the years and the worst were all fords. Mazda, renault laguna (mk 1 only, mk 2 was bag of nails, but pretty) and Volvo being the higher points. both (volvo and mazda ) now owned by ford, note the revolutionary focus..... was a re bodied mazda 323f, a quantum leap from the escort but a badge change from a mazda.

Anyway had a loook at the new mazdas and can only conclude that ford has worked its magic and we can now look forward to the demise of the mazda range.

Like a lancia manager said at a car show once, it is not that our quality is poor it is that the japanese qualitiy is excessive!
