that goes for all of em tho outside of financials.

 

My brother owns a hire car business, limos & stretches, all of them Ford's
He is by his own definition, a Ford nut. He has Ford T shirts & caps, Ford posters & beer holders in his bar (read garage with a beer fridge & pool table). He loves the Bathurst long week-end V8 supercar races & gets really pi**ed if Holden wins (GMH). My brother in laws wife just bought a V8 Ford & is planing on spending some serious money on upgrades.
Personally I don't have anything against Ford's, like I don't have anything against most car manufactures, I don't have a brand loyalty.

 

Because their management has its collective head up its ***. Worked at the Atlanta Assembly Plant for 12 years. That plant was the best in quality and efficiency in the Ford system for years on end. We won the Harbour Award for efficiency for several years. That covered all of North America and included Honda, Toyota, Kia, etc., as well as GM and Chrysler. We were one of the first plants to be shut down.

Currently, Ford seems to have their finger on the pulse of what people want and they are doing well. But that is cyclical at best. It won't be long before the execs stick their heads up their *** again and decide what the public needs is tiny, ugly, puke-green p.o.s. mobiles ...

And that, my friend, is why I drive a Toyota ... and hate Ford.

 

All brands when examined under extreme scrutiny will show some flaws. they all have the strong and weak points.

i personally like the chevy/gmc styling over the ford. but i would not turn down a good deal on anything, be it ford, chev, toyota, or dodge.....

i am a fan of performance in general, not just because of the logo on the hood.

 

People rip on Ford for the same reason GM and Dodge get ripped on, because the guys doing the ripp'n, think they have a better vehicle.

The funniest part about it is, most people like one or the other, and truly don't know why. For the most part, its: my family has owned them, and thats what I started to drive, so it must be the best. Or when they were a teenager, they saw a movie, and thats what sparked their interest in a certain car. Most brand loyalties never started with a spec sheet, they started with an emotion.

 

Thats about the truth of it there
