I love their current lineup of cars, especially the Fusion, Focus and Fiesta. And with the new Focus RS..the STI is gonna have some competition.

They can't handle high amounts of power either...hence why they're not in pickups. Garbage fad to con people into buying silly little ecnobox 4 cylinders instead of buying body on frame V8s cars like they should. I would think they also probably wear out faster than a typical automatic transmission would, given it functions off of belts and pulleys instead of gears. Like I said. Its a fad...it'll go away eventually.

CVTs are so crappy, I don't know how anyone could like them..unless you're brainwashed by them from buying a Nissan. I'd never want a CVT, but then again I'm not fond of automatic either. Its mostly advertising schemes and such, they're trying to get something more efficient than the manual but its just not going to happen, at least not with any of the current technologies. They can't handle high amounts of power either...hence why they're not in pickups.

If its not a Ford or GM, its a piece of crap. Everything needs to have a V8..4 cylinders are basically lawnmowers.

actually, ford makes a special vehicle for the police they look like a crown vic but they're not They are Called the police interceptor the ones around here have the 5.4L Triton V8. we also use Dodge Durangos and some ford explorers oh and we have an osh gosh Special unit something another truck SPECIAL ENGINES LOL, Its the same stock 4.6L 2v V8 thats in a regular Panther. Just with the addition of dual exhaust, a 3.27 rear end(trak lok or open diff), an aluminum driveshaft, a transmission cooler and a slightly larger MAF. I don't get why people think CVPIs are some godly car..they're base model fleet cars with a couple things done to them...and 90% of them are beat to absolute crap, especially the marked units. The fastest CVPI was the 2004 year and it ran mid 15s in the 1/4 mile and had 250hp(200 to the rear wheels). They are NOT fast at all compared to todays cars...but they are tough as nails and will take a hell of a beating. Which is why I've owned two of them. (a 1989 Lincoln Towncar and a 1997 Ford Crown Victoria)
