I swear it's like a football fan and their favorite team, will never admit they suck.. just that "they're having a rebuilding year"...

90% of the vehichles i have driven have been Fords:
2 Explorers, 1 F250, 3 Mustangs (4 if you count the 70), an 04 Expedition and now an 08 Fusion SE Sport Edition.. never any major issues with ANY of them, but hey they might've all been freaks...
only gripe I have on the 08 is the Drive by wire, the initial throttle response just seems off if you baby it, but put your foot in it and it goes.. drives INCREDIBLE and handles on rails..
damn fords..
What do you know Derek? Your lil rustang only went 8.50's at 160. Weaksauce. You know nothing about cars.

How's the 70 coming along? -Mark

Actually it is the cousin to the Celica, and is built on the chassis of the Avensis (european only). Yes it has the camrys 4 cyl. I do believe, the tC, or anything toyota has made for that matter has had a better reputation than ford....

Not to take sides or be an asshole or anything, but the Celica was originally a spinoff of the Camry...the Matrix off of the Corolla, the Solara also off the Camry

He said just last week that my car is in better shape than his 2 year newer and less miles GTI. So to say Ford is finally up to par with a 10 year old VW is well, stupid.
Especially since VW's didn't really hit their current stride till the 2000 model year.
Sure, its no Rolls Royce or anything. But for a car I paid les than $16K for brand new I'd put its interior up against anything else in it's class.

My SVT Focus interior:


new 2008 US focus interior:


Euro Focus Interior:
