hmmm..i don\'t know what to think of this,...i think overall it\'s kinda silly,...i mean if you feel like that, just make a product that people will buy,...then again i can probably see this happening over seas, say like in china or japan.*if the american car was dominant*....from what i gather it seems people in that area of the world just don\'t buy american products in general, rather than them worrying about the quality...meh i\'m almost takin this off topic...read...

"I think a lot of people in the United States ought to be looking at this right now," Grabbert said. "We\'ve got all these foreign automobiles coming over here, and I think we ought to be helping out our people who are here."

But if you make a piece of shit, you don\'t deserve to be in the market. :applause:  You got a company like Honda that now offers an optional navigational system into its cheapest car, and what\'s Ford doing besides finding ways to make cars with cheaper plastics?

A dumb rule made by a dumb person in a dumb company.  Can\'t say I expect much from Ford.  Their trucks are ok tho :)

Ford makes good V8s. They last. The V8 in my T-bird (i\'ve talked to a few owners) last for over 200K miles before they start to deteriorate. One guy I talked to said he beat the shit out of his too to see if he could break it. Ford makes some good cars but others are shit. The Fusion is supposed to be really good.
