    This makes me very, very happy.


    I actually want a Fiesta even more now.


    And mad props to the Olds driver not only for making sure she was okay, but being able to steer that unfolded sofa-bed off the road, in control with three tires. (Three wheels, maybe? Even more impressive.)

    "The metallic green Ford Fiesta ... looked like a squished ash borer ... a skid mark on the hood the telltale sign of the original impact..."


    An Ash Borer?? A Squished Ash Borer? What kind of Beavis and Butt-head fan writes about ash borers? Are they even legal in the USA? Forget pictures of the car - I want to see the ash borer.


    (sorry Ash78, but I know you're no Ash Borer, nor would you allow your Ash to be bored, so to speak)

    Wow, I'm impressed that it stood up to the hit so well.


    Thankfully, she's okay.


    5-1 says she sh*t herself when the tire hit the hood.


    Any action?

    That is a pretty damn random way to get your car totalled, and to stare down a potential near-death experience. I was also impressed that the Oldsmobile driver stopped to check if she was okay.

    Keep an eye on Pininfarina, with Andrea Pininfarina sadly gone (from a vespa accident of all things), and Jason Castriota jumping ship to Bertone, the grand old Italian desing house needs some star power, Camilo's got that in spades


    With that being said, what's with all the hate. You can't work for a company for 24 YEARS without producing what they want. If they'd have utilized him more maybe the design of their cars wouldn't need a complete European transfusion. Lighten up people

    @engineerd: I just saw one of those sell (a pace car from the GM collection) at Barret-Jackson for something in the neighborhood of $36,000. In typical big blue square fashion, they got the engine right in the last year and immediately killed it.
