We really need to give the Ford Focus more credit, don't we? Every time we think of technology in the compact hatch segment, the Golf pops up. But look what cool stuff Ford has!
As far as we know, the Focus is the only car with Door Edge Protect technology, which extends elements from the car when you open the door so you don't damage your car or somebody else's in a tight car park.

"How do we promote that? I know, some fat sumo wrestlers in a car park in Germany!" somebody at Ford must have though.

And so, we ended up with this funny commercial. Panicking Germans go crazy seeing their beloved cars getting damaged by these dim-witted brutes, only to find out there's not a single scratch on their cars.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
