I'd buy a focus because it interfaces with my zune. What a terrible reason to buy a car though.

In Europe it's quite a good car. In North America it's the same platform that's been on the road since it was introduced 10 years ago, with just an ass-ugly facelift to try and disguise it.

Hey, Ford? Yeah, no one else is putting headlight switches on the dash. Yeah. We all moved them to the turn signal stalk in the 90's. Time to catch up.

i remember in my '92 camaro the headlight switch was on the dash to the lower left of the steering wheel, and you had to twist that to turn on the overhead cabin light as well. it was weird.

1980 Ford Fairmont. The horn was on the turn signal stalk. Had to push it in toward the wheel to blow the horn. The most fucked up thing ever.

renault, peugeot and citroen used to have that, too

the only advantage is that, when honking your horn, you're flashing your highbeams too...

On the Fairmont though, I believe the high-beam switch was on the floor. So that advantage was gone :undies:

During that time, it seemed like most models made by American manufacturers were each their own sort of bullshit ergonomic experiment. Ford was worse about it than the others, IMHO.
