This thread is a perfect example of why Ford is in the crapper. Too many of the supposed Ford fans have gotten too comfortable in the role of Ford apologist. I'm guilty of that myself. I've been driving Ford vehicles since I could drive and right now, they have NOTHING that I would be interested in buying. I refuse to be the proxy laughing stock for Ford by being one of their apologists. Here Ovaltine is telling you about what he likes about his car and instead of saying "Gee, maybe Ford should incorporate that" You Ford fans go off on another long apology streak. "My Kia has puddle lights." "Yeah, well Kia sucks and my Ford Fusion comes with tires so its obviously better." If the city slickers want fold in mirrors, then by God, give it to them. Christ, just because you don't use them doesn't mean everyone else doesn't either. I've seen many a city car moping around with its drver side mirror dangling. If Kia can understand that this is a handy feature for its customers, then I have to wonder why Ford can't. Doesn't it seem to be the the Asian companies trying to gain market share by giving their customers more for less and Ford seems to want to gain market share by giving customers less for more $$$. I certainly hope that Ford pulls out if this and my heart goes out to all the good people who lost their jobs. But I fear that even if Ford gets out of this, they'll forget the lesson as soon as they do and they'll be here all over again. Also, buying an American made Honda definitely keeps more money in the US than buying a Ford made in Mexico. This country's strength begins and ends with good jobs. Show me where the money comes flooding in when it's a worker in Mexico getting the paycheck. --Paul
