Heading out of the store, I decided to head down to the far end to get some more exterior views from this side. It's no easier to get decent exterior photos from over here, but at least it's something different. Speaking of different, it's a little jarring to see a random Ford SUV in the middle of the line of little European hatchbacks!
Ha, well, it is less strange seeing a Ford Ecosport next to those hatchbacks than it would be to see something like a Ford Expedition! It seems very bizarre to me that Ford here in the US discontinued the Fiesta and Focus models and started selling those 3-cylinder Ford Ecosport SUVs instead. The Fiesta and especially the Focus seemed quite popular here. The Ecosport, rightfully, is not popular at all. I guess Ford felt like telling those Focus and Fiesta customers to shop elsewhere!
ReplyDeleteOddly enough, in the Netherlands, there are people there who really like old American sedans like old Buick Lesabres and such. It is strange to look at Google Maps images from the Netherlands and see those parked on the streets. You usually don't have to look too hard to find one! Of course, the Dutch tend to be rather tall so perhaps they fit better in those than in a Fiat 500, lol.
That is true -- the Ecosport was originally a non-US model. It didn't last long in the US either -- I guess even small SUVs aren't popular enough these days!
