I don't see the problem, a little claybar and it will be good as new.

The car, unlike the Mazda 3, is too much a Ford, especially in the V6 engine.

Would you believe Ford is rebadging the chassis for a new clone for the Mercury line?

Not only that, one of the best selling cars in the world.

You come across a lot of ant-domestic stuff on this board ... personally as a car enthusiast I don't get it -- but hey whatever we can all have our opinions.
