From what I see Ford is above average. And look at Mercury at #2 B)
Old enough to know me limit, yet young enough to exceed it.

I'm suprised that Oldsmobile is on the list still for 2006 as GM stoped selling Oldsmobile in 2004 in the US when they changed the Chevy Blazer stylings.

Yeah Ford is above avarage, but I'm suprised a lot of European brands other then BMW ranked in below the avarage because Porsche has been high ranking in other dependability studies.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

On the figure, FORD is shown as being above average, however, you would actually call them below average in this case, because their claims per 100 vehicles is LESS than the average claim amounts.
In this case, being 'below average' is a good thing ;)
