Dave Quality will take you to the top! Reading Ford had detrone the general in Canada is proof of better built cars. I'm looking forward to reading about it when they take down the general in the USA. Talking with an older gentleman who never owned a Ford until a couple years ago was amazing. He loves the comfort and the power of his Edge. "Quality is here! " he said, smiling as he drove away.

darin Nice to see people finally wake up. on a segment by segment basis, the imports are now sub standard in value and quality to Ford's product. Long term, this is nothing new, only now people are clueing in. Unfortunately, Ford was a victim of bad marketing, and vision from the top, which has now been rectified. Way to slay the japanese quality myth to shreds Ford!
