Ford passes Toyota in quality...

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,278755,00.html

Good news for us Ford lovers! I can say with products like the Fusion kicking the butz of the Accord and Camery in testing and my wife's new Edge, I think we're seeing a turn around. Please!

Speaking of the Edge... after having it now for a couple months, I must say i'm very impressed. The thing is just solid. It just really feels well made. And the new V6, (which is the same powerplant as the Fusion and will be replacing the one currently in the base Stang) is uber smooth and has great power with 265hp.

Tons around here too! I was going to buy her one until I saw the Edge. She not a truck fan and doesn't like driving them. So, it fit the bill nicely. We're also divers so we needed something to haul the gear around. Works great.

It's refreshing to see some quality for a change from a U.S. product.

I wish I had a daily driver... but I am forced to drive the beast to work... o how hard it is on my everyday to slide into the leather seats, turn up the already decent stereo and be looked at by almost every driver on the way to work. Man its tuff.

It's also nice that if I'm in the middle of working on it, I can stop and pick up later because I'm not dependant on having it to get to work.

What other daily drivers do we have out there!? Sound off...
