For us in the US that would have to be Toyota. They are like one of the few that are successful with sedans, though the Camery is a good car. My dad has a 2007 model and its built tough. Here in the US I think due to our bigger roads and potentially longer distances having to be traveled, most people want a bigger car. Gas prices in the US are a hell of a lot cheaper than in the EU. AND my 2018 Nissan Rogue has better gas mileage then the 2006 Ford Focus I had, even though its slightly bigger and has AWD. The other thing is bigger vehicles do a bit better in the snow, and Michigan is a waste land in the winter. My Focus couldn't deal with the snow hardly at all. 

 

The other side of it is dealerships give great rates on leases. Most lease are 2 to 3 years. Then you get in to another car, or you have the option to buy, which is what I did. Ford practically gives F150's away on lease. Generally lease payments are much less than buying the car. The only thing about a lease is the mileage restrictions. For someone like me, that wasn't a problem. I have a 36,000 limit during my 3 years, I used just over 20,000 miles worth. Which why even though I just bought the car the dealership is trying to buy it back, because they can sell it used for a lot of money. Because my loan on it is just over $14,000 and the car is worth over $19,000. The point im trying to make is the dealerships give great deals especially on leases if you get a Truck or SUV, and a lot of people lease because well its cheaper, you literally lease for 2 or 3 years and turn it in and get something new.

To be honest, the Fiesta and Focus (which don't exist anymore in the US at all) were ugly as all heck in the sedan versions. Hatchbacks are more popular here, BMW and Audi being the manufacturers that are successful with sedans here. Every other sedan basically failed and went out of production without a replacement.

Once upon a time, Ford Modeo's might as well have been more popular than Fiestas and Focuses here in the UK so not so there were some saloons that were popular here in Europe (or UK to be specific)

Here, they're sold as Ford Mondeo, but usually they have higher trim levels. Because I can tell that yours doesn't have park distance control in the front while here, you barely see them without.

But since they can only be configured fairly limited and some engines disappeared, I think that they either discontinue the Mondeo here or that it gets a new version.

I remember the ST24 Mondeo. As a kid I would drool at those...

 

 

 

The European competitor was the Opel / Vauxhall Vectra GSi.

Got this for $20+ on this month sales. Don't know why I like to collect cheap earbuds instead of buying a more expensive and higher quality one. 

 

Build quality and mic pickup is great though, sound kinda meh until I adjust the EQ.

I bought a new monitor riser mount (clamp-on type) to replace my previous monitor stand which was too low. The new one enabled me to reuse my built-like-a-tank Oppo HA-1 because I'd be able to use my cans with Balanced 4pin XLR cables.

 

Also received two pair of replacement earpads for my Sony WH1000XM3 and Sennheiser HD600, the stock ones are still in good condition, just wanted something new to try out...

I would have nearly postet a complete fresh build... Machine without gpu...

Fractal desgin Define XL 2

But then... I managed to fix my sweety to work nicely again... 

So only a pair of boots and two logitech headsets... and Lucfer Season 3 DvD Box Edition, because I was dumb and thought it was the 5th season... *shrug* well 13 bucks down the drain.

I think the left earpad on my Sony WH1000XM3 was a a little creased due to the way it was packed, it's all good though. Likewise, the leather (supposed to be sheepskin) earpads on the HD600 looked creased, but they're fine, I was using my HD600 for at least a couple of hours and they are pretty comfy.

It saddens me to know that this book will only get published on the 2nd of November and that I won't start reading it for 2-3 weeks after it's oficially distributed around the world -_- (yey shipping times)!
