Well, yes, it has the huge advantage of NOT being a Ford.
Or American.

Ooooof, that hurts... I like Italian cars as my list of previously owned machinery will attest. I like the 288 GTO as well, it's about the only Ferrari I'd really like (apart from a 456M )..
I'd still go for a 911 Turbo over one though.

Says he who bought an American, and married a Ford, or was it the otherway round.
Clue: Which makes most demands on his wallet, and craves the most attention?

And what actually gets the most attention, and actually gets the most out of his wallet :-))

I want to be able to drift like that Saudi guy. And when Martin Kemp was driving the Liana on a practice run and it snapped back on him on the last corner, bloody hell, know how that feels :P

Not much nowadays. But it's only very recently they've started making good cars - you know full-well that the older Festers, Escorts, Sierras, etc. were DIRE :)
They've never managed to make good cars in the past !

Have you ever driven an American car?
I challenge you to take two similar market cars - say, a 1980 Cortina and a 1975 Ford LTD - and drive them a: from one end of the country to the other, and b: down a typical American town road at 55mph.
Once you've finished picking up parts of Cortina, tell me that the Americans can't build cars. Seriously, they may not be dynamically honed (though they are frequently better than imagined), they may be a little heavy-handed in styling terms. But good? They're the best things you can get for the purpose.

Not if you have an ounce of sense.
Acksherally I'd prefer a Dodge Ram to the GT3 or the Ford GT. Yes the Ford GT is very nice and all, but the Dodge is a really funny vehicle to drive around. Scares boy racers.

"For the purpose" being the operative phrase.
My main purpose, is my 9 mile country-lane work commute. Pretty much any American car would be hopeless :)

I think I've seen one of those in a crew cab form. Huge monster that makes all the SUV type pickups look small.
8 litre isn't it? Plant you foot, see you aren't going forward. Look out the window, "Ah, I see, it isn't the wheels that are spinning, it is the tarmac that is wrinkling.".- Vote on answer
