I saw this and figured I would throw my 2 cents in as well. I think Ford is probably the better of the 3 american car companies today. They used to advertise they had 5 of the top ten selling cars and I am sure they still have a few. If they are making this many sales, they must be doing something right. This is not to say they haven't made mistakes. Many dealers have screwed customers, they have made crappy cars such as the Pinto, they haven't recalled the contour waterpumps and other such things. In general: American cars are much better than they used to be, but still aren't as good as some foreign cars. Ford, in my opinion, is the best american car, but the best cars come from either Honda or Toyota. As much as people want to deny it, you can't beat either of those. Now I feel better, hehe
