I disagree, thats part of the business environment and operations. And what? You think Ford took out a loan for the R&D for the focus brought @ '00? ha
But I'm sure that concept will be no where near the actual design produced. And I absolutely agree with Fatbooty, but on the other hand I'm glad Mazda is picking up those sales. Even though its the same company basically, I'm more partial to Mazda than Ford obviously.
