and then, after the demise of the little renault, i got another car that was larger and safer; https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/F...090243244).jpg
mine was same color as the pic.
the german ford was a comfortable, roomy, and stilish, on the art deco fashion. i enjoyed it so much that i got 2, 1 for the wife and 1 for me.
besides sharing the art deco with the xf, it also had a feature that is different from many 4 in-line engines: firing order is 1-3-2-4, instead of 1-3-4-2.
just as the v6 xf, that is 1-4-3-6-2-5 instead of others. wonder what the fellows that designed these cars know about it?
