Why don't we table the discussion until after the 11 NA Focus shows up? After all, they are assembling the parts they are given with the tools they are provided.

The 11 NA Focus is already here, saw one today when I went to pick up my tags..........and it doesn't have anything to do with parts or tools......it's the fact that if the shift whistle blows and someone is in the middle of screwing down a seat, they stop seat half screwed and by the time the next guy is in line and up...that car is down the line with a half screwed seat. (in Hapeville Ga they call "cripples" cars that go out with PARTS MISSING...it happens.
C'mon it's (the Fiesta) built in a third world country, and is better than what is built in the USA! The people down south are very proud of what they do and aren't concerned about the next contract, or the current contract and they aren't worried about the beer bust down at the union hall....they are proud what they do!
