    I don’t see Fords that often, they actually seem to be getting fewer overall.

    Peugeots, Renaults, BMWs, Mercedes, Volvos, Audis from European factories, on the other hand… seeing those a lot.

    And also a lot more bicyclists and ebikes. Which helps the car drivers too, cause then roads are calmer, meaning fewer traffic jams. That’s why more bicycle infrastructure and protections for bicyclists, would be good.

      I agree, but it’s the only US brand that I do see on the road with recent models and tesla ofcourse. I see more and more unknown Chinese brands as well.

      Seems to be totally self inflicted tbh, they’ve discontinued the Fiesta and Mondeo in recent years, Focus goes at the end of this year and replaced them with an SUV/Crossover lineup named after old models that in no way reflect the old models they’re named after. (Puma has become Fiesta crossover, don’t even start me on the Capri)

      They always used to punch above their weight in terms of value, were reasonably cheap to maintain and pretty solid cars. If there was a Mondeo estate in the lineup I’d literally go buy one this weekend.
