I agree that a lot of what is said about ANY vehicle by outfits like that, is mostly opinion-based, and not always fair/factual. I am so sick to death of the Autmotive Media being so negative about domestic cars and brands overall.
Also agree with the fact that the Focus did make C&D's ten best 5 years straight, and was at one time, the best selling car on earth.
What ruins Ford, is that the dealerships work so independently from eachother, and that the company also doesn't stand behind their vehicles very much. Take for example the car I almost bought...a 03 Lincoln LS, which is basically a $60,000 new car, only comes with a 4-year/80,000 km warranty...not exactly inspiring numbers to have knowledge of when shelling out that kinda money.
If they keep making cars like the Fusion, the Edge, and let us have the MKII Focus from Europe, Ford will make up a LOT of ground on it's road to recovery.
