Re: Ford Tops in Vehicle Residual Value
I didn't hear the whole story. UAW makes concessions to FORD. Ford plant up North brings back unemployed UAW workers to meet growing demand. Imagine that? Does anyone have a link to the full story? I heard it on the radio the other day.

 No, I am actually hearing complaints from many owners of newer Toyotas and have heard several of them say they're going back to American cars when they get rid of them, specifically Fords. They have been having some major recalls and quality issues...they HAVE peaked.

http://www.thewarpath.net/parking-lo...tml#post361767 Toyota has kept that issue under the rug, because 2 and a half years later, I still can't find any evidence to back up your claim. While you're still collecting anecdotal evidence, add my love of my 4Runner to your files.

Re: Ford Tops in Vehicle Residual Value
It continues for Toyota.
 Along with brand-wide accelerator problems, now they discover brake issues with the Prius. Also just heard on the radio (news/talk station) that fines for these safety issues could be in their future. Toyota's safety woes spread to Prius brakes - Yahoo!

Re: Ford Tops in Vehicle Residual Value
TOKYO — Could the Corolla be next?
Toyota Motor Corp. said Wednesday it's looking into complaints of power steering problems with its popular compact car and is considering a recall as one option. That would be another blow to the world's largest automaker grappling with a spate of safety lapses ranging from sticking gas pedals to braking problems. President Akio Toyoda also said he's not going to Washington to appear at congressional hearings next week, preferring to leave that to his U.S.-based executives while he focuses on beefing up quality controls — though he would consider attending if invited.

Re: Ford Tops in Vehicle Residual Value
Count me among the Japanese car fans. But if Consumer Reports backs up JD Power and other quality indicators, then I'm on board.
Consumer Reports is the main voice I'm willing to listen to because they're independently funded and thus unbiased. Ford has gotten decent quality ratings from them recently, so for my next car in a few years, I'll definitely look at Ford.

I agree with you, I like the styling of the new Fords but lets see if they are still running 5 years from now.

Re: Ford Tops in Vehicle Residual Value
I have had good luck with fords but I have never owned a new car because I just think its a waist of money to buy something and the minute the papper work is done its worth about $ 4000 to $6000 grand less. My dad has owned 3 new fords and he just purchased a new BUICK ENCLAVE which is really nice. He looked at the Fords but said he thought the interior felt cheap but he said some of that could have been some ford burn out and wanting something different. Good news he stayed with an American product and like it. I even purchase something made in the US today. A crab pot.
