    Ford Europe vs Ford US

    Yeah, I know, this comparison is kind of stupid but considering that both of their cars vary a LOT, this had to be done.

    So, which is better ? The folks who gave us Sierra RS Cosworth, RS200 and Escort RS or the creators of Mustang, T-bird and Model-T ?

    Ford Europe of course. Out of patriotism and my own personal opinion I would rate Ford Australia as better than both them to be perfectly honest. Ford US cars are boring, uninspiring and ugly, save for the GT. Dare i bring up the comparison pics of the Falcon and Fusion again?

    Ford Europe all the way... we get the shaft over in North America, save for the GT of course.
    i was waiting on a moment, but the moment never came. all the billion other moments, were just slipping all away. i must have been tripping, we're just slipping all away. just ego tripping.

    Ford Europe: Cheaply-made cheap cars
    Ford USA: Cheaply-made expensive cars

    And as for the GT ... thats based on the original GT (nicknamed GT40) which was designed, developed and built in Britain

    Ford Europe-good
    Ford U.S.A.- making an effort to provide ok cars but is too busy listening to the union.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    The only great cars built by Ford were mostly aftermarket. The Shelby Mustangs were aftermarket tuner cars.

    and so many more.

    Possibly true that the only "great" ones from and sold BY Ford USA were aftermarket, but don't brand the whole company that way. ( Besides I'm sure others will be pointing out some more great Ford cars )

    I have only had personal experiece with two Fords. A late 70's Escort and a 2000 Focus, both cars sucked. The Escort was more likeable and the Focus had good engineering/design just the execution in both was below average. I'll abstain.

    I like Ford Europe more because of their design. I really like the look from let's say the Mondeo and Focus. They just look like class and quality.

    I like both but I can't choose. Each has their own cars I like and dislike.

    I'm probably the only person on this forum to say the Cosworth is cool, but that little spoiler deal on the back makes it ugly.
