I went through 3 Taurus SHO's and I REALLY enjoyed them . . . I'm digging the new Fiesta that's on the way . . .
Ford's got it happening . . .
Thank goodness we have choices other than GM 9Government Motors). I really kinda wanted my $81,000,000,000 that we lent them back and I'm sorry to have seen folks who had their 401(K)s in GM bonds and the folks who lent the money watch GM default on the "loan".
Ford is looking good these days. HD closes Buell, I can't find a Uly at a good price and I lose my employee discount. HD will not get any of my money, I'm buying a Ford Raptor SVT and its Orange like my Uly was

I have my doubts about the Fiesta (aka Europe's Mazda2) ever making it over here. Hell, they've been talking about it for 3 or 4 years now, and we still don't have it. I think they're afraid it'll outclass the Focus (since they flat out refuse to bring the Euro spec Focus over).
I just want a Ranger but the darn things hold value so well around here you could get a newer (by about 2 years) more optioned out Dakota for about 5 grand less than any ranger that is directly comparable (ie 4x4 vs 4x4 larger engine offered in both automatic within 20k miles of each other with the dodge having less etc etc.)
I owned a 1999 Ranger XLT and loved it. I went with a 2002 Dakota for the V8 and loved it more. More room and felt stronger towing. Then I bought a 2006 Dakota 4door with V8. And I hate it. If Ford would put a V8 on a Ranger, it'll be my next truck. Although the V8 Sport Trac is an option.
