As niche consumers, we can't expect the world to deliver what we want. At least not the world based on creating profit growth and shareholder value.

I totally understand what Ford did and why, I'm just saying that I bought into the rumors and expected something different, after all they now sell a 200 horsepower 2,500 lb. hot hatch, bit of a gamble imho.
And whether or not they delivered the goods in the 'eyes of their target market' entirely remains to be seen, they haven't sold a single unit yet.
