First Ford Exploder, now the neatly folding Pickup ... interesting lineup of F-Cars ... :twisted: Makes you wonder about the US safety rules ... they won't let - what was it? A Ferrari? - on the road because the manufacturer doesn't want to crash a couple extra cars (equalling to a big percentage of all cars manufactured!), but cars that are on the road by the ten- or hundred thousands are a death trap ... !?

Link blocked at work.

Is this about the Ford Ranger? Yeah it is rated the worse in the US. Horrible frontal collision intrusion. Been out a while now.
