So says Consumer Reports & The Detroit News ... newly recommended includes our very own Mustang!

"David Champion, senior director of Consumer Reports' auto test center, said Ford's quality remains below Toyota and Honda, but added the Dearborn automaker is now competing with those brands instead of with the other U.S. manufacturers ... 'They're definitely in what we would call the top tier,' he said. 'They are making serious inroads.'" & "The latest initial quality survey commissioned by Ford found its products are in a statistical dead heat with Toyota's"

way to go Ford. Maybe the stock will go up.

 

Ford stock = daytrader garbage.

 

fords quality has consistently improved over the last decade, and particularly the last 3-4 years. JD power, consumer reports, Strategic quality index, and several others have in the last several years consistently ranked Ford high, it isn't a fluke and hopefully they continue to make improvements. particularly in customer service.

 

Models from U.S. manufacturers accounted for nearly half the vehicles on the Consumer Reports' list of the "least reliable" vehicles of the year. They included 13 models from General Motors Corp., six from Chrysler LLC and one from Ford. Most of the other models on that list came from European brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and Audi.
Champion said Ford's quality improvements appear to be real and sustained. He said the quality of Ford's cars and trucks has been improving consistently for the past five years.
Ford's big bugaboo, he added, is its products' styling.
"The problem with Ford vehicles is that they're a bit boring," he said.
While Ford's quality has been improving, Toyota's has been declining.
"Just because a vehicle is made in Japan, doesn't mean it has bulletproof quality," Champion said.
Consumer Reports has withdrawn its recommendations for three key Toyota models: the four-wheel-drive V-8 version of the Toyota Tundra pickup, the all-wheel-drive version of the Lexus GS sedan and the V-6 version of the top-selling Toyota Camry. All three models are now rated "below average" for reliability.

 

Its nice to see, it will still take time thou.

 

Nice to see ford get credit for quality. I have even been reading that toyota's quality may be slipping as well. It is nice to see an american automaker step up to the plate. It is terrable that americans are buying so many imports it just hurts our country.

 

+1!

 

I agree with thxultra...
I'm not American but I won't buy anything import.
This Country has beenvery goodto me.
