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.

 

my car doesnt fit under that category...

 

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.

 

They changed that to a clip in 07, so it wont grab a grocery bag and pop the trunk anymore on speed bumps like my 06's did-TRUNK AJAR-wth?

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.

 

Awesome!

 

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?


Seriously... I have been very happy with mine!

 

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.

 

I love everything about my stang except for the cheap plastic interior which already has been discussed a few times

 

Not if you have the premier trim group

 

I would have swore the Honda Ridgeline was a truck.

 

Got any pics of yours??

 

Love everything about mine! Way to go Ford!

 

i always loved ford and this is amazing news, theyre brands basically own the list.. 4 out of 10

only problem i ever had with my mustang was the driver side mirror would vibrate slightly witht he bass up high, but that was fixed and i love this car lol

 

na its a minivan with the back missing lol

its built on a minivan if im not mistaken LOL

 

Odyssey with a bed

 

kevins da bomb lol

 

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.

 

Congratulations indeed.
