Sorry to all of you who have had trouble out there. I have not had a single issue with mine short of the emergency trunk pull handle coming loose from it's velco a bit too often.

Mine neither. Are there any other midsize sporty car for that catagory? Compact sport should take care of the imports and premium sports the more expensive models.

Good news all around. The new Escape and Edge has been aces and the revived 500/freestyle should pick up more quality 'steam' for next year. Its rare that my customer's ever have any problems with their cars these days.

The only problem that I have had is a taillight bulb burned out.
No wonder Ford is in such bad shape. Should I start a class action lawsuit?
Seriously, though, the S197 is good. Congrats Ford.

Don't you need class to do that first?

Considering the mix of fords includes a lot of very heavily worked trucks I would say the 'civilian' vehicles probably would top Toyota's all light-duty lineup, and Hondas all-car lineup. A brand that doesn't sell any trucks nor has any V8 vehicles like Honda should be at 60/100.

no, but its the stitched dash and cushy stitched armrests and center console cover. I'm sure the dash would be a ***** to change, but the door and console armrests probably wouldn't be that big a deal or expensive. With people changing heater controls to 07's for no good reason, I'm suprised I don't see anyone doing the PTP stuff 
They talk about it here and one guy got custom leather on his armrests, looks awesome

I never thought about it, but a good shop could give you a leather console ala Jaguar if you wanted it.
And scott drake is coming out with a leather stitched cover for the center console armrest.
