I'm seeing so many new Toyota's on the road that i don't think anyone really cares.

Hopefully more people will open their eyes and see that Ford is building a very nice product line.

As long as Kyle Busch is driving a Toyota I don't think they will catch on around here.

I don't necessarily want to see any car maker have severe issues but I do want the American public to see that Ford has evolved into a car builder that not has style but cutting edge high quality products.

Likewise, Ford's arrogance in the past has cost them big. Lets all hope that they can stay humble and focused on a high quality and exciting future.

Something related to this is Consumer Reports. They continue to have blinders on and recommend imports over the big 3. Even when they have not even driven them.
