Growing up, it seemed like most guys were either Ford guys or Chevy guys. My dad was a Ford guy, at least for a while. Looking back, I think the geek in him would have appreciated the technology and excellent gas mileage of the Ford Escape Hybrid, but he'd probably end up buying a Focus. I'll never forget the day he brought home that brand new candy apple red Maverick with the hideous plaid interior. I loved the paint, but I think he liked the $1997 price tag more than anything else.

The Escape Hybrid is a great start, but we expect so much more from the blue oval folks. It's not that we're being hard on Ford, just that we're envious of some of the really great cars they build and sell in other parts of the world. Why can't Ford find a way to sell their high mileage minivan here in the States? Where are the diesel engines for the SUVs? Why isn't a hybrid drivetrain or economical diesel engine available for Ford's passenger cars? How about a properly-sized diesel for the Ranger pickup truck?

There's no doubt that Ford needs to make those Bold Moves. For the sake of all that's good in America, we have faith that Ford will make them. Why not do something really crazy and build a limited-edition Mustang that pulls stumps with a monster turbo diesel engine?
