why is everyone so down on a ford motor?? That makes no sense to me.

The M3S is a great car. Drive it like it's stolen and make me proud.

no. I already told you its not...Matty is just asking a valid question....Ford did develop the Duratec 3.0 V6 which Mazda slapped a new head on and put in the Mazda 6
