    Where are Ford Fiestas made for the UK market?

    Right hand drive fiestas are only made in Cologne, Germany. No right hand drive fiestas are made at either Almussafes in Spain or Chongqing, China. Some parts for it are made at Dagenham before being exported to Germany and then back again inside the car.

    Pontiac G8 GXP VS. FORD SHELBY GT500?

    The Pontiac G8 was built in Australia by Holden, therefore it's been tested at Lang Lang in Victoria under the harshest conditions on earth. To be totally honest, this is a smack down walk out contest for the Pontiac G8. It eats the Shelby for breakfast in every department. I can't even think...

    can a BMW 633 or 635 front sport seat head rests go on a bmw 1992 325i?

    No. M50 parts do not even remotely fit on M88 engines. Notwithstanding that the bore of a 3.5L block (635) is an entirely different profile, length and width to the 2.5L block of the 325i. This is a daft question, cars are not like lego. You can't just pull apart bits and put them somewhere else.

    How can you argue against evolution and not know anything about it?

    Do you understand allele migration? Perhaps you'd like to enlighten us how this works considering that gene flow under all circumstances actually prevents speciation. Can you explain the Hardy–Weinberg principle? I don't honestly think that 99% of people who purport to believe in evolution...

    Which would be a better Ford Focus?

    A North American Ford Focus built in Wayne, MI or a European Ford Focus built at Saarlouis, Germany? Which do you think you win in a race if both cars were fitted with a 2L engine?

    What Makes the Chevrolet Malibu so much better then the Pontiac G6?

    Price? If you ask me, the Pontiac G8 is a far better built car than either the Malibu or the G6. The G8 has far finer tolerances and better panel fit, and the interior is built with better quality materials. It also has the 3.6L V6, and because the car was built and tested in Australia, is far...

    2004 Toyota Sienna. What is the best fuel type?

    Regular fuel is fine. A Toyota Sienna being a minivan is hardly a high-performance sports car and as such a higher octane fuel will have precisely zero effect. Unless otherwise stated, higher octane fuels don't add anything to the performance of a motor car. A higher octane rating means that...

    what year honda civic for stock car?

    Personally I like the charm of the 1976 Civic RS. At just 680kg the car handled like little else; and because it had a nice torquey 1.5L engine throwing out 52bhp, it would given the chance scare whoever was in the seat next to you. Those sideways hood vents look quite scary, almost like its...

    Which is better 2010 mazda 3 vs 2009 Mini Cooper S?

    How as a 16 year old are you able to afford the insurance on either of these cars? What sort of purpose do you intend to put the vehicle to? Is it merely as a commuter vehicle? Do you need to haul around stuff? How many people do you need to carry on a regular basis? I don't think that you've...

    Do you prefer: Jeep/LandRover/Hummer/Toyota/Nissan?

    Land Rover Defender - there is no other. I think that to build a proper 4WD it needs the ability to a) be used off road and b) be serviced in the middle of nowhere with virtually no spare parts. Whilst the Jeep, Hummer, Toyota Land Cruiser and Nissan Patrol are all serious 4WDs, there can only...

    If they sold the Ford Falcon in North America, would it be successful?

    http://www.ford.com.au/servlet/ContentServer?cid=1178876893501&pagename=FOA%2FDFYPage%2FFord-Fullwidth&site=FOA&c=DFYPage Bear in mind there's also a 5.4L V8 and a turbo 6 in the lineup.

    Why is the Ford Fiesta 2010 everywhere except in the U.S.?

    The Fiesta Mk7 has been available in most markets for a while now. The problem with introducing small cars to America is that the American market doesn't particularly like small cars. The Geo Metro, the Chevy Aveo and Toyota's Yaris are unloved in the USA. Mainly this has to do with gas...

    Does a Ford Ranger have metal Frame?

    No, it's entirely made from Fromage Frais, and as such has a veritable cheesy palate about it. Of course it's made of metal.

    honda ridgeline ship it to Europe?

    I suppose that you could send it by Maersk or MSC but the big question is "why"? The price of petrol in Europe is typically around 4 to 5 times that of America, and essentially the Ridgeline would be hideously massive compared to everything else on the road. Insurance companies are likely to...
