?
It's A) for me...Ford's market share hasn't improved all that much, but their products are so much better than the competition IMO.

(I used think the Geo Storm looked awesome, and wished it had the turbo 1.6 and AWD option of its Isuzu Impulse twin. But don't tell anyone...)
We had the Geo Prism/Corolla as well. Purplish color with white stripes and a manual. Yea, we were styling... ugh huh

Ugh, got a new phone mount for my car and left it mounted to my window while I was at work today. Came out to find my car vandalized.

The new Ford designs are funky, so it's possible. I like to think I have conservative taste but I prefer Mazda's designs so it's obviously not true. Did you know Ford sold 300k Foci last year in the US alone? They still can't make a good AT and 90% of those were with the Powershit.

It is just the grill, JUST THE GRILL..

Recently I have caught attentions by some random car's grill, and I thought I saw an Aston Martin. Turn my head and check and be disappointed. It is just yet another Fusion or Focus. Darn!!

So the designers at Ford just copied the styling cues from Aston, and everyone thinks they have improved their design, although this is on the good direction.

The mount was on sale on groupon, like $13. The car has to go to a shop next week to get an estimate. I posted pictures and stuff in the main forum.
