Are there plastic bits covered in a chrome-plastic in the Speed3...?
Also..
Too dizzzy from reading the specs..
1. Can ya get the Focus-for-Europe-now-coming-here RIMS for this car?
2. What other interior choices for colors are there? Looks like swaths of grey / black plastic...
3. And does TINT come standard or optional on all glass except the driver and front pass doors?

0. I'm not sure which plastic bits you're talking about.
1. Why would they sell you Focus rims? I think not.
2. Black and "Dune" are the only interior choices.
3. All cars have a wee bit of tint, but nothing you'd notice. No special amount of tint here.

Also, you may want to blame the long-gone MPH writers for any bedazzlement. In they're review of the '06 Mazda3 they said that only high-priced prostitutes should be understated.
ps. acres and aces?

Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they fought with expert timing
They were funky China men from funky Chinatown
They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down
It's an ancient Chineese art and everybody knew their part
From a feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip
Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they fought with expert timing
There was funky Billy Chin and little Sammy Chung
He said here comes the big boss, lets get it on
We took a bow and made a stand, started swinging with the hand
The sudden motion made me skip now we're into a brand knew trip
Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they did it with expert timing
(repeat)..make sure you have expert timing
Kung-fu fighting, had to be fast as lightning

Again, the seats in the Speed3 should remedy any of those problems. Have you seen the buckets they're putting in the new MS3? Gorgeous.

1. Andrew has mommy issues.
2. You should buy a low spec 3 and an aftermarket sat nav.

Or HHR SS (if you don't hate the styling).
I'd like the Vibe much more if there was a GXP.

Let's see: Popular, AWD Sports car? Why would we want to do that?
Maybe they couldn't find a way to fit enough ribbed plastic side cladding on it.

With every review of each new Hot-or-Not Hatch, I'm feeling more and more satisfied with my '06 WRXagon.
It does what I need, nothing more, nothing less (beside the occasional tire-roasting burnout).

You're not allowed to respond with a "That's what she said" to yourself. Bad form, Didorosi, bad form.

Sorry Bob Ross moment.
Love the character line on the doors, nice touch. Oh, and Diddles, you need to clean the dust off of your lens, it's a distraction in an otherwise good lead shot.

To fulfill my duties as a Jalop normally I'd say "rabble rabble" and move on, but if I'm going to buy a new car the navigation and, in particular, radio are pretty important to me. To use Clarkson's analogy, it's like meeting the most beautiful girl in the world, smart, witty, good in bed... and she's got a beard.
I like the looks a lot, but I like the Fiesta a lot more, in just about every way. Also the interior's too busy at night.

At least let me pick my own ICE.

P.S. Rabble rabble rabble!

I feel like it was the first episode in series 9 or 10 or something.
