I don't know anyone in the car industry.
Lots of fords? Well, ive had lots and lots of different cars over the years, household always had/has 3 or 4 to choose from! I didn't expect the fords to suck - LOL!! It just turned out that way unfortunately. I LIKE to support local business and American made anything BUT im also tired of being disappointed.

I had a cougar anniversary edition that just fell apart and broke down constantly!! The Mustangs were all ok the first few years then fell apart!
Had a Lincoln that was nice but again needed a lot of costly maintenance as it got older and got very soft and mush early on in its life.
Friends that bought or leased recent Fords were not particularly happy with them after some time.

Once I started driving Japanese cars I was hooked! Strong engineering, solid and durable! NEVER had any major issues with a Japanese car - hell never had many minor issues either!
I tried some quality German cars and although they are beautiful and really good they were all costly to own. The LAST LONG! The body's don't wrinkle, the paint holds up the interiors don't wear or fall apart and look newer for many more years! There have been many MB's in the family going back 30 years and ALL never got old, just aged if you know what I mean?

HAHA, got this old late 90's Camry with 265,000 miles on it sitting in my driveway (long story!) Its in better condition all around than the 20?? Chevy Cavalier "Sport" that one of my kids got not long ago with a quarter of the mileages!
