After sitting in a Ford Flex at a carshow it finally dawned on me that this is the first affordable American car made in my lifetime that isn't a complete piece of shit. (Affordable = sub Z06, Ford GT pricing)

@PatFromGundo is second (by order of Ross Brawn): Heart click for that.

@FriscoFairlane: But he would no doubt buy an old-school Windstar with mismatched door panels.

"... and they've got a lot of nice cars replacing ugly ducklings (we're looking at you Focus, 500/Taurus)"

But I like the look of the 500/Taurus... What does that say about me?

@GoPadge:

1. Your boring.

2. You need to get out more

@GoPadge: Hey now people, the Five Hundred was an alright car. Boring yes, but in contrast to the Taurus of its time?

I ride in one regularly, the car is a great highway cruiser. Maybe even the best out there, given you can pick up a fully loaded Limited AWD for around $11,000.

For the first time, news that Ford might do well again is actually making me happy.

Bets on them being the only independent American car maker left by 2020?

I'll have a fiver with you.

/not really, though.

@ThreeLitre: Try the 27th for GM or the end of the month.

I mean, whose fault is that? GM might be getting the short end of the stick, but when you realise that the newest Malibu came three years after the Fusion, for example, it seems more reasonable.

GM may be spot-on with the likes of Cadillac and Buick nowadays, and Lincoln may need a readjustment (mostly of what-wheels-drive), but it's the volume leaders that really count.

@A stʁolling playeʁ: Meanwhile, the good-but-misplaced Contour was built at the same time as... the rebadged-Grand-Am Malibu.

It's a bittersweet victory. On one hand, 1.5 of our automakers are about to go bankrupt. The Government is creating national debt that our grandchildren will be paying off. On the other hand, Ford is still going strong, and they may bring more Euro products to the US. So, tonight I drink for the GM and Chrysler workers who's jobs are gone, and for the hope of new Euro Ford products.

The look on that guys face says it all.

Although as a Ford guy myself this does get me excited in suprising ways.

@PowerTryp: Actually, I interpreted that picture as that guy threatening to keep the T&Cs in line. "Man, I am so much better than these vans-- I could buy and sell their asses."

What makes this especially funny inside my head, is that he looks like he's about four feet tall. Short Man's Disease is an unfortunate condition, though I hear it's treatable with baby aspirin.
