Thanks - I have slept since then and was hoping my memory was not that bad. Sounds like they did so poorly with the first year car here [though it was in use in Europe before then] they decided not to try the second time. I still think it was a nice car to drive as long as you were not personally responsible for repairing the flaws. BillR

It seems the story is both cars were the same until 2004, when Europe got an all-new Focus, while the U.S. got the old platform with a facelift. _______________________________________ http://www.striplin.net For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net
