Come on, since when Ford build quality vehicle? People love Ford because at one time in history Ford put North American on the map of the world as a vehicle maker and a good family story line. Both GM and Chrysler have done more for the car industry than Ford. The Minivan and the muscles car is one example. Japanese cars always been like the wall of Troy, impenetrable. Ford has always been a disappointment time and again, and again and again and again and again, get it? So, Ford now has a new play in the play book with the Edge and the New President and all the PR but the goal is the SAME, SELL YOU GARBAGE and make a ton of money doing so. Im a 2 time Ford vehicle owner. You know the old saying "Had me once, had me twice, NOT A 3rd TIME "Ford Looser"". Prove when Ford had a car that was a well built as the Japanese, a Honda or a Toyota. Tell me if Ford is so good why they are taking the Volvos and Mazda parts to build they cars like some type of Freakenstain monster that in the end are mediocre at best. And DJ Powers AGREE. Pick ups.... yea good looking... but look at the INNOVATION that HONDA and NISSAN and TOYOTA are putting forward... Ford is taking even the TOYOTA slogan.. "MOVING FORWARD" when they speak. It use to be "Build Tough" now "Bold Moves" and thats just in the 2000s. Ford change they slogan so many times its makes me think on how deeply confuse Ford really is and why try to trick us again with their TV ads guerillas. NOW they want to go and steal candy from Latin America too. But there "if is not a Toyota, is not a car" thats what the slogan is in many Latin America countries. About those people that work for Ford, sorry, You work too dam hard to get the reputation you got. Honda and Toyota also build cars in America so dont go begins for a job to Honda or Toyota or Nissan, they are doing very well. Also, if you want a good (not great) build vehicle from Ford buy a Lincoln or a Mazda. A lot of people got the point but now they know that they loose there too.  Last time I drove a Ford I got booed by Americans I got the finger. I got so irritated once I stop a guy and ask him why he was giving me the finger... he said it was nothing personal he was just expressing how much he hates the car because it was....well a "FORD". Not the reaction I get on my HONDA Odyssey!  My neighbor got the Explorer in 7/2006, pressured by her best friend (not us) now is obvious that she more than him, is embarassed about it. Feel sorry for them too. |

Replying to: rafael2 (Nov 03, 2006 2:02 pm) The 2006 Fusion has a lower defect rate than both the Accord and the Camry. NO recalls. Hardly any TSBs. Very few user reported problems. According to Ford's TGW Global Quality Research System: Fusion 1,172 TGWs (things gone wrong) Accord 1,353 Camry 1,193 Not the reaction I get on my HONDA Odyssey! You mean the Odyssey that's had 27 (that's right, 27) recalls since 1997? And 5 in the last 2 years? Sorry but you picked the wrong poster child for import superiority. I'm talking about the new products from Ford - the F150, Mustang, Fusion, 500, Edge and their Lincoln/Mercury counterparts that have all been introduced new or significantly updated in the last 3 years. These models are proving extremely reliable - equal to or better than the imports. No argument on some of the older stuff. But it's not 1995 anymore. Even Hyundai has respectable (if not stellar) quality now. |

I am going to give you the "proverbial" 0.02 cents on this matter ...I am ready to buy a CUV and I was undecided between the EDGE and the MAZDA CX 9..both good vehicles in my opinion,of course the CX 9 being a higher price. I subscribed to different groups MAZDA and FORD EDGE and what I am noticing is that the MAZDA CX 9 forums are reporting more "dissapointments" (small ones) than the people in the EDGE forums. This made me think in the price differences on both vehicles fully loaded (about $3500 difference). Again for the price, it seems that FORD's EDGE is a winner hands down.I have not followed the others like the ENCLAVE (dealers believe that they have a "HOT" item..very little negotiations,if any)..Saturn(with their "famous" no haggling policy) and GMC (they also think that they have the vehicle for the second coming of CHRIST ,not trying to be irreverent),so that leaves me back to the EDGE,which incidentally you can hardly find any 2007 they way I want it, so I will wait another 30 or 60 ddays for the 2008 which is coming much better equip (they way I like it). Sorry for the long posting..
