At first sight, the hard plastics seem tucked away. Look a little closer, feel around a bit, and the quality subsides. The passenger side dash and window switchgear flaunt inconsistent, Hyundai Excel-ish gaps. The dash-to-console trim needs a good automotive orthodontist.

On uneven pavement, our test whip produced a deep-seated dash squeak only remedied by the stereo's extra wattage. Keep in mind, this hallmark of Toyota quality had all of 3000 miles on its odometer.

Yeah, that only helps Ford's case, I agree. But is the role reversal gonna be product-wide, permanent, and most importantly...is it gonna happen in time? It's Ford that's hemorrhaging to death. And ironically, it was Mullally who was quoted in the Detroit News as wanting to follow the Toyota model of global product development and manufacturing, which he covets >> Click to read.

And by the way, 97svtgoin05gt, you know good and well that I'm not a Ford hater by any means, so go find yourself a hobby...**** your wife — do some freakin' thing for crissake.
