EDIT:
I guess those vehicles with higher mpg are the ones that come with hybrids...

Sweet, I love my gas saving Civic. 33mpg daily

In my dealership we get a ton of chevy's too like blazers and c1500 trucks. We get to blow their engines too, lol!

The latest data shows Toyota Corolla has topped the Ford Focus as the most purchased vehicle under the "cash for clunkers" program.
The Ford Focus is now second, the Department of Transportation announced Wednesday (august 5th)

my dad traded in the 5series for a focus...after i got back to colorado. so he is driving that and im still without a car =\ he refunded me the money i already paid for it so i am going to fix my car

my dad has a focus, it's a pos.

My aunt had a rental focus, a newer model at that. I drove it like hell. Didnt like.

i test drove one...the 010 is nice

only worth owning that's a ford is a truck. i would still take the tundra over any other though.

amen. I dont mind shelby stuff too...

I hear Mustangs are fun to drive as well too.

I believe for the price. They are like the 240's of japan.

make sure its a 03'-04' s/c cobra

I would kill to own an AC Cobra.

Obama signed the additional $2 billion for the program...

Err... I drove a Chip Foose "Stallion" Mustang and that felt like a boat!!! But the sound it makes is s3x!:dance1:

the 010 or the generation right before, i have driven both the V6 and the V8, and i hated driving either, so big and bulky, and my dads GMC sierra could pull Vs the V8

i wouldnt mind one of those too. don't they have kit cars that look like these?

Yup - looks up Factory Five Racing and Superformance are probably the better ones out there. I find it funny that the kits try really hard to replicate all the little "quirks" of the original AC Cobra as well - because those are what make the car famous/infamous.

So true. The little details are what make it click... Either way, it must be fun to build those...
