Yeah, but they didn't look like Astons until last year (Gaming)

GF has a white Fiesta hatchback that has that bodytype. Gorgeous little car. Too bad I despise the Ford gearbox.

That auto, I assume? My buddy has the Fiesta ST with the manual (the only thing that car comes with, I think), and it's a great transmission. That car is one of the most fun things I've ever driven. It's not fast, but it's impossible to drive on a curvy road without grinning like an idiot.

They've been using that Aston grill for five years or so now, though. The rest of the car didn't get as good looking until really recently.

I'm admittedly a Ford fan boy; I bought a 2002 Mustang GT when I graduated highschool nine years ago, and it has been my daily driver since then, and I'll never get rid of it. But even so, anyone that thinks Ford still makes crappy cars needs to take another look. They are probably the best American car company right now (although all of them have gotten a lot better, except for may Chrysler which is making a bunch of bullshit now that they're owned by Fiat), and they have very nice, very competitive cars in every segment.

The Fiesta is a great little car. The Fusion is a great sedan, the F-150 Ecoboost is the best truck on the market right now, etc, etc. And that's to say nothing of the brand new Mustang, which is the best that car has ever been. It is now a legitimate sports car, and not just a high horsepower brick. They targeted the Porsche 911 performance when designing it, and from what I've experienced with it, they nailed it. It's as close as they can get while keeping the car at sub $50k. And if you've got a couple hundred grand laying around, you can grab the new Cobra Jet which runs low 8 second quarter miles from the factory, or wait a few years and get a new GT, which will probably be incredible judging by the last iteration.

Oh, and they can design the hell out of an Xbox controller. :)
