Euro Fords coming

I've never understood why Ford hasn't done this before. The product they offer in Europe is far superior than what we get stateside.

Never liked ford, and absolutly not the euro ones...

jrc - thanks for that. Now if they don't screw with the interiors (leave them as they are in Europe) it may be decent stuff.

then you would absolutely absolutely not like the US ones. the worst car I ever owned (in terms of build quality) was a Ford Taurus

Not impressed over the build quality, handling or comfort in any Ford i have tried, but i havent tried all yet.

A classic Shelby is the only "Ford" i would have in my garage but even that is far down on my list... (And i just have to get ritch first.:P)

As soon as Land Rover was touched by Ford they started to suck too. I had a 2005 Range Rover HSE with the craziest transmission, brake, etc etc problems. The dealer actually didnt want to warranty most of which is the worst part. Not only do their cars suck but so does their customer service (IMO)
