In North America we were totally blind to how good Ford actually was because of the garbage union deal the current executives at Ford inhereited.
They've been producing "Car of the year" award winners in Europe for quite some time. They just weren't allowed to bring them here.
Now that they are, the difference between Ford's of the late 90's and the Fords now with the Euro content and the stepped up domestic quality are night and day.
I used to say I'd never drive a Ford, now they'd be the first domestic dealership I'd visit.
