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.

When I watch some older episodes of Top Gear, and see some of the Focus and Fiesta models the European market got, I was always wondering why they wouldn't sell those here. Ford's done well over there, and it's improved my opinion of theirs. I still wouldn't touch a GM or Chrysler though.
