Ford realises that it pissed off its investors, so partnering with another automaker to build your cars for you is much cheaper than making your own.

This is funny, the British offered Volkswagen to Henry Ford II to buy in the 1940s. Ford said the car was a piece of junk and would only sell for 2 to 3 years best. Ford thought it would be a loss of profit. Well the rest is history and we all know what VW became.
Ford and Volkswagen are both known for selling some of the best selling and most popular cars of all time:
Ford Escort (1968 - present) 20 Million Sold
Ford Model T (1908 - 1927) 16.5 Million Sold
Ford - F Series (1948 - present) 40 Million Sold
Volkswagen Beetle (1938 - 2003) 23.5 Million Sold
Volkswagen Passat (1973 - present) 15.5 Million Sold
Volkswagen Golf (1974 - present) 30 Million Sold

Actually, it would more likely be a Focus R. The Focus ST would be a GTI.Forget the new Ford Focus RS, it will be the Focus GTI.

Though, this is something I really didn't see coming. I actually kinda look forward to seeing what results from this partnership, even if it's just commercial vehicles.

One can "diesel" without rolling coal...
Yeah, no...that strikes me as exactly the sort of thing a diesel Mustang owner would do. Frankly, with an old Changer and a Mazda RX-8 as recipients of diesel swaps to do it, I'm astonished nobody's done it to a Mustang already.
Oh look...

Hey, I just said that.
No thanks, I don't want to drive a Mustang and be reminded of a school bus.

If someone wants a diesel Mustang, they'll make it themselves.

I don't want to be around one of those.
Kind of ironic. I owned an '88 Jetta 16V w/VR6 conversion. The exhaust was by Techtonic Tuning. Matte black, 2 1/4", people said it looked like a school bus exhaust.
