The Freestar/Windstar never had these quality assurances.

Maybe they should up the standards at all plants like that. Ever look at the door gaps, fit and finish of a toyota corolla. Usually it's better than a lincoln even though the car is full of less quality trim etc.

This cannot be a bad thing. Better to keep them at the plant then have a whole bunch of bad publicity and yet another disasterous launch (Focus)

It's funny you say this. They introduced this new standard to us when the Freestar was still being built. What a difference.

BTW we are currently not building the Freestar. I think we are going to start again in Jan.-march and then it's dead.

I've driven 3 of the vehicles now. My wife wants one and I quite like them. Very nice.

I hope alot of customers feel the same way.
