Why is Ford changing the styling for the North American market again? What's wrong with it? I know it'll be a minor change, mostly a bumper job. But this kind of crap makes me more angry than say, a totally new sheetmetal.
The last car to do that to me was... Saab 9-3 SportCombi. I went to the auto show thinking it'll have the crushed ice-effect taillamps that the European versions had, but noooooo. For some lameass reason, they had to have the clear red reflectors. Out of blinding rage, I slammed the taillamp of the US spec 9-3 SportCombi, prompting a poor Saab booth professional to rush to the car asking if everything was okay. Then I gave a long rant about how the 9-3 doesn't have the awesome crushed ice taillamps, which must have confused the dear girl. Sigh... I think that was the same year a Mitsubishi sales manager told me to get bigger aftermarket turbos on an Evo since we don't get FQ-400s here.
Well. I was vindicated though, since the later 9-3s all get crushed ice taillamps anyway.
@The Auto Insider: I especially appreciated your restraint in not pitching a bitch fest about the intolerable press quarters, catering, and sub par foot massages provided to the motoring press.
