Would you consider the ford focus a muscle car or an import/tuner?

My friend and I were arguing about this for a while. He says its a FORD so it has to be a muscle car. I said it has no characteristics of a muscle car.

While Ford makes some nice performance sedans, that does not make them muscle cars or tuners. The ST version is impressive and there were some other SVT versions earlier but they fall into a class of cars called "Sleepers". Lets face it 252 hp in that light of a car is a force to be reckoned with. There are those who use them as tuner's, but out of the box it needs little and most of those that try improving it will ruin it. With the current model being assembled in Wynne Mi, it can't be considered an import in the US.

Go back to arguing about which Pokemon is best… You both know nothing about cars.

The focus is Ann economy car, not muscle. Muscle cars are Mustang, etc.

A muscle car is an intermediate sedan with a big block V8.
There have been no big block V8 sedans built for decades.

The base models are economy cars

The high performance ST and RS models are hot hatches.

It is NOT a muscle car.
It is a family car.
