I know exactly what it is! Inside information is brilliant!

I wouldn't be so sure. The Colorado was redesigned for the US market mainly to make it look tougher, but the Ranger already looks like it's built Ford tough to me. If the Americans don't think it's too small, it might have a shot at becoming a success.

If it's the same Ranger they sell in Europe, and I'm assuming it is, it's roughly the size of a Mitsubishi Triton or Nissan Frontier.

"One Ford" is what they call it. And yeah, Ford's approach right now is to make the same kind of car available on all markets worldwide, which is an unusual move. Volkswagen, Toyota, Fiat, Honda and even Chevrolet all produce and sell different vehicles for different markets to make sure their products are able to hit as close to home as possible wherever they are. I hope Ford can find a good way to balance the preferences of several different markets in one model. the Fusion/Mondeo honestly doesn't do a great job at this, as it was obviously designed for the American market. It's incredibly comfortable, and that's a good thing, but it comes at the expense of the handling and driving dynamics many European buyers want. The other elephant in the room, quite literally, is it's size. It's simply too big to fit in many European city centers. It's obvious that it was designed for million lane interstates rather than narrow cobblestone alleys in German hamlets. I love Ford, and I'm rooting for their success, but they have to do better than that. With that little rant off my chest, you've done a brilliant job with these and I'm looking forward to seeing more.

BAT hall-of-famer at this stage, isn't he? SimCoug -
One year ago today, David Bowie himself left this earth. I understand him. There are probably way cooler places.

Yeah , don't go off and do something ... I really like seeing you around here on simtropolis . Hold your head up and be proud of who you are . That's what I do . If someone doesn't like the way I am , then go hang with someone else .I don't need others to bring me down . I only have a small number of friends . And they help me keep it together . When life gets tough then we have to get tougher with it , and keep trucking through with it .

Of course Haljackey calls a regular highway a backroad.

That tiny wheat field in that strange location doesn't make much sense, I know. I wanted to see how it would work out, though.

This ended up looking more like Pennsylvania than I originally planned, but I'm happy with it anyway.

All right, I'll just assume you want to know what comes to my mind when I think of the great Dirktator. He's a respected leader, a likable personality, and a ruthless oppressor. I quite like him. What comes to mind when you think about the mysterious CloneBoom? -
The only nuts I like are walnuts, hazelnuts, and deez nuts. Almonds are better, though. Beer or wine?
