I don't get it. I went to the Ford website and downloaded a Fiesta brochure. I wanted to get some detailed specs for the car. What I got was a joke. The brochure has no real details, mainly just general fluff stuff and photos. No vehicle weight, fuel tank size, engine description (chain/belt, piston size, compression ratio, engine material, etc.), tire sizes, trans/drive drive gear ratios, etc. So I got a Focus brochure and an Elantra brochure. They follow the same script as the Fiesta. [censored] is up with this? Why are they keeping this kind of info secret? It used to be standard issue in the brochures. Where can I get this sort of information?
Are car specs becoming secret?

Nope, it's just a reflection of the lack of interest of the general public.

those honda spec sheets are quite good.
Edmund's.com also has specs and includes the maintenance schedules.

That's interesting. I wonder at what rpm fuel cut is set. If it is lower than peak I wonder if they are just using that HP number as a marketing gimmick.

I'd spend some time to come up with some clever comment ..but
It would be funny if it's not a typo.
"It was felt that the consumer would be served best by limiting access to such raw power".

Maybe like the BMW M5, which has a switch to increase the horsepower from 400 HP to 500 HP, it has a switch which increases it from 115 HP to 120 HP.

How about:

that we would race until something blew
so we thought it over.... wouldn't you?"
