You're so-o-o-o slow John... I stopped buying Ford after experiencing
a 1977 LTD :-(

The 70's were notorious for bad American cars. Apparently most US-made
cars are now close to the Japanese in quality, and ahead of most
European stuff. But they still look and weigh and handle like American
cars, and seem to be substituting crappy gadgets for basic design and
handling.

Oh, I've never owned an American car. I'm considering a small 4wd SUV,
and have looked at the US stuff just to be fair, but what I've found
is ugly and bloated.

I won't buy an oscilloscope or a TV set or a car that runs Windows!
