Ford is totally bland, the interiors are boring and cheap looking, and the stock sound system kind of sucks. I should know, I own two of them, lol. But the Fixed Or Repaired Daily thing is bogus, I’ve put 254,000 miles on my Freestyle and it’s still running strong. It’s boring as hell, but it’s definitely built Ford tough. My wife’s Mountaineer has close to 100,000 miles and it still runs ok, but seems to be having more problems than my car. I can’t complain about them, but they don’t excite me either.
I’m a Chevy guy, but I won’t knock Ford. Also Ford is a well run company that didn’t go running to the government for money, but that’s a different discussion for a different day.

This is one of the reasons I've started liking Ford and after looking closer at them I do like the new Fords. I must admit in the 90's they were pretty bad but things have got better there. We have a 2011 Taurus and it has been a great car so far. I like the way it looks and drives. I also like the Mustangs and Fusions too.

The only saying I've heard is First On Race Days! hehe

I'd still love to own a '68 Charger with a 383! I love them too, but as much as I love the '68 Charger, its always gonna be a 1969 Challenger or 1970s Superbird As for the modern day Mopars, SRT Hellcat Challenger would be really fun, and its much cheaper than my other favourite modern dayer, the Viper (2nd and 4th Gen ones, tho the newer SRT one has grown on me) Oh and the Ram SRT-10, when i retire, im gonna find a Viper motor and plug it into either the Current Ram of that time, or the Durango

These could easily be released here in NA and revive some old names. Ford could bring that over as the Ranchero and the Holden could be sold as the Chevy El Camino. This needs to happen!

Yeah SPEEDSTER0595 your right, I used to have plenty of Clio's, pretty much owned them all bar the "proper one" which i'd still have now. I've drove a few and they are awesome cars.

But least were comfy however the deals already done n ill be picking up the scenic tonight, with kids in tow so it gets the full "3 in the back" testing

No testing needed just a long hard drive.

C'est El Camino, looks good with the chevy badge They could be released in NA, and they are! (Or were idk if they still are) coach_wargo under the name ST8 or a sedan/coupe version named Pontiac GTO. Both have different grill/headlights but are the same car. Could it be released in UK? I say pfft, but apparently its under the Opal badge. Pictures won't post from phone, I can post from pc l8r
