Ford actually has come a long way in quality and styling. They actually produce cars that the average consumer would buy. If they can ditch some of their UAW baggage and drop costs a little, then they could be a contender.
Out of the Big-3, they're the only ones that actually tried to change direction BEFORE the 11th hour.
I like the styling / utility of the Ford Flex. If it could tow, I'd seriously consider one.

As a current owner of a 5 year-old Camry with over 100K miles, nothing can beat it in the dependability/reliability department; some may match but how can anything beat something that has absolutely no problems at all? Negative 0 problems?

Man, mention an American company doing anything right around here and panties get bunched real fast.
I like the new fusion personally, and ford trucks are super reliable.
My dad has a 2002 f150 that he puts 40k miles a year on, and he has had very minor problems (spark plugs come to mind)
But I do not think I could ever by a mustang (to the poster who talked about his 02. I don't know how to multiple quote). My sister has a 98 (i know, 90's) and all she has had is problems. It sits in the driveway more then being driven. And I have had other friends with mustangs. Not a fan.

Consumer reports have been off on a couple things, so I don't entirely take what they say as gospel.
I work on cars for a living. If it were not for Ford, GM, and Chrysler, I would not be so busy.
Ford Truck... spark plugs randomly shooting out of heads come to mind.

He decided to wash his engine bay, which is beyond my comprehension since he has fixed all of our cars since I was born (87) and some water got into the engine. New spark plus= good as new.
