nothing wrong with the pickups etc that you americains get, also the focus and fiesta are really good, im going to get a 1.4 turbo diesel fiesta for my first car, thats what im learning in and i dont see any problems with it. yes subaru rock, but they are real expensive. also the transit is one of the best vans out there, well in the UK at least. and this is my view, i havnt got any evidence to back this up with or anything like that.
whats a crappy car that ford is producing at the moment? from the ones that we get in the UK all the cars being sold in the UK are fine, and good value for money.
