you claim that buying a Toyota doesn’t support our economy, when in reality it does. Toyota employs countless thousands of workers in their auto factory plants right here in America.

i sold fords for ten years, and i dont care what JD Powers, motortrend or any of them report.id put ford head to head with toyota, in any catagory,and win.My 1999 taurus has 247 thousand miles on it,same engine and transmission that came in it,It still gets 28MPG,and it still runs and drive very good.My 1989 F150 has 324thousand and is still getting the job done everyday.If your an american and you love this country,try buying a car that made by a american owned manufacture.Or take your toyota,and move to japan,and continue surpporting their economy

Toyota, hehe, a joke. Bought 2 brand new cars from them and one cracked a piston at 35,000 miles, its rusting, on both cars. I dont care if they were made by americans or not, Toyota hasen’t been around as long as Ford, they have yet too learn, like Ford has, the tools and tricks and the industry. I’d be more comfortable knowing that the company making my vehicles is well established and has made a mark in the world. As for other brands, I’m sorry I will only be buying Ford products for the rest of my life.

WHEN the new styled police cars come out, I think FORD would be wise to offer the same vehicles with all the “police features” (no lights or sirens of course) to the public @ the same price they sell it to our towns for (using our money)

Getting a tougher car made to withstand more abuse would be a good thing.

So I guess Ford figured out how to keep spark plugs from leaving the engine, and fixed the electrical fires. When I see the number of used Ford’s for sale over 150,000 miles match the number of similar Toyota’s and Honda’s. Then I will be convinced the quality is “as good”.

you call that many casualties a “little” acceleration problem?

Only until VERY recently has Ford been ahead with it’s styling. And even so, it’s midpack. NOT leading.

Fair enough. Of all the car makers, American car companies have done the best job of utilizing social media to get their message across, and GM and Ford in particular have done so with a degree of success. That’s one way to get your message across. But the other part- as I mentioned- will be the passage of time. I knew way, way too many people not too long ago who drove Ford Tauruses, Contours, Windstars, and so on that had just tons of problems with their vehicles. So that memory still sticks in my head.

BUT… I am also fully aware that this might have been the “old” Ford. You guys were very smart to hire Mullaly. Your product line has gotten better and better and due to not taking government funds the public views you in a positive light. So I’m willing and happy to see what has been done lately. I grew up in a family that bought a lot of Fords. My Grandad only bought Fords and one of his relatives was one of the first in the state to sell Fords. So I am partial to them myself.

So I’ll be listening and watching to see what people think and say about these “new” Fords. Who knows. My next vehicle might very well be a Ford.
