pcsario Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) The Vue is rated 8.0 and people here consider it a POS. Says it all, really. Edited April 18, 2008 by pcsario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickF1011 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 The Vue is rated 8.0 and people here consider it a POS. Says it all, really. Don't recall anyone here calling the Vue a POS. Your negatard responses to every thread on this forum says it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcsario Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I don't recall anyone saying the FuckUs would be a flop or that Ford would sell 0 units, yet you consistently feel the need to mention that. Again, a little perspective, that's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Reynolds Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 The Vue is rated 8.0 and people here consider it a POS. Says it all, really. Actually, I believe people here poke fun at it because of Saturn's inability to sell 'em in masse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomServo92 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I don't recall anyone saying the FuckUs would be a flop There were most definitely some people here saying it was going to flop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanh Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 There were most definitely some people here saying it was going to flop. I may have been one, and the styling STILL hasn't grown on me, IMO the sales numbers may be a genuine reflection and retaliation/ anger at the price at the pumps, seriously I am happy at the Focus's success but will throw this curve ball...how do you all think the numbers would be if the styling WAS more Verve like from the get go? and a PS ( just got back from Ireland and the Focus there is fantastic looking as is the Mondeo ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one recent exception is the Verve/Fiesta. Just got back from Ireland? I'm jealous.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ireland was cool ( literally...golfed and got snowed on! ) ....have always thought that the good old USA is a few years behind Europe...and now that the pump prices / gouging is prevelent here as well we now seem to be much more open minded to embracing the smaller engined, smaller car that the Euros embraced years ago ( no doubt due to their $10 per gallon approx )....biggest cars I saw were 5 series BMW's with 3.0 diesels no less.....
