Ford has better "world cars" we should start seeing here soon.

But Ford still suffers from the lack of exciting or competitive cars in their current lineup like GM and Crysler save for the F-150
Well if you think the F-150 is "exciting" you ought to take a Titan out for a romp
I just love mine Makes the Ford engine feel like just a bunch of little ponies compared to all my big horses...

Ford does not have a single car in their line that I would want to drive or ever consider buying (except the GT of course). GM has many cars that I like and I will probably buy and look where there companies stand. Ford is in way better shape and will likely be the sole survior of the big 3.

Didn't they stop making the GT a few years ago?

What they are doing is downsizing, cutting away the unnecessary baggage. Who knows if it'll be a positive or negative thing. Only time will tell.

Sad but necessary. Toyota manages to do just fine relatively without any real performance offering until teh recent IS F.

I said exciting OR competitive

And anyone that thinks any truck, except for maybe a Lighting or SRT10, is exciting has issues
