I just plain don't like Ford, except the Cobra R of course.

yeah, too fake. I don't care for Fords either, but you have to admit the GT90 & Indigo are pretty neat.

Come to think of it, Ford's only cars that I like are produced in limited quantites or are Concepts. Wierd.

I don't think ford has ever been that great of a car manufacturer. I think there specialty is in trucks.

Yeah, Ford trucks are great. I think the Ranger looks really good with a lift kit and muddin' tires.

the trucks are the only OK things, like the Escape & explorer LOOK pretty cool, but I don't think they are reliable and all that stuff

I like Ford's full-size SUVs, even though they are road-rhinos, you can substitute a Ford Ecursion door with a Barn door if the problem occurs.

I'm currently working as a mechanic for a local Ford dealer on a co-op work term for school. Basically anythign with a V6, 3.0 or 3.8 is unrelieable, the engine anyway. The eight cylinder models are pretty good. They've really come a long way reliablility wise. I'm starting to see more and more electronics problems though.

Don't worry though, they'll never catch up to the Europeans when it comes to making a car.

I like some fords. I loved the indigo concept, and I like 'stangs and their trucks (like, Lightning and Harly F-15)

Taurus's are the Bread and Butter for Ford - they HAVE to break down often, to ensure all the co-op studends have jobs for fixing them !

All kidding aside - I don't think much of Fords lineup myself, EXCEPT anything with a V8 - the Entire Lincoln line, Ford Trucks, and of course - the Vic platform .
