They don't have my vote, that's for sure. And I compliment you on your non Ford bashing comment.

I think the satin/brushed accents and wood amount can depend on the situation/application. If done properly, like on the new F-150 Platinum, they can work well together, but if not, then they don't always look good. In the Sonata, it's ok but not great. I think had they put some more wood grain on the center console instead of that brownish plastic, the wood strips would look fine and 'in place.' (as opposed to out of place)

You can say that again.

I agree. The article mentioned in NY switching the taxis to all hybrids would equal taking about 25,000 cars off the streets in emissions. I wonder how much emissions could be reduced if all taxis in the US were switched to hybrids and what the equivalent # of vehicles "taken off the road" that would come out to?

Really? This was the first time that I had seen it. I didn't know Mike Rowe was doing ads for Ford back then.

Wasn't the Tundra designed here in the States?

I see now. I figured you may've meant borg, but it was still confusing.

Well, I said Fusion because you said, "with new products like Fusion", but now I realize you bought a Civic, so then it'd be a Focus you were cross-shopping. Seems like there's a lot of head banging going on in this conversation.

As I said, I'm sure they're not concerned about it, they just want to test it whether it has high quality or not. That is a good picture for a camera phone.....the cameras in phones are pretty good these days.

lol

I have Battlefield 2142, it's pretty good.....I've played Call of Duty 4 on my friend's PS3, it's really good, it's addicting too, I didn't want to give the controller back to my friend, the graphics are great as well. ------ I'm trying to tie in each of these posts with the Tacoma thread so.... I don't know of any E85 stations near me.

Yes, except once Ford has finished globalizing it's production and design methods, it will be able to have a whole lineup of "hits" and/or great cars and trucks. An example of this is Verve/Fiesta. That effort will soon spread to the rest of the lineup.

He wants us to suffer through looking at that ugly truck.

Except it's 1,000,000,000,000,000 times better looking. I think being a Honda (inexperienced in building trucks) had something to do with Ridgeline's lackluster sales, I think this will do better based on looks alone, also being from GMC, known for trucks, will help as well.

That is funny to have a boat motor there.

I think they should've made a first person shooter out of Generals. ----- Well said, jpd80, and I agree.

Thanks to both of you. And to you Nick, I know how you feel, I have a Jaguar collage as well that I'll post, it took forever to do....

It does...

I agree that that's why they're not doing any speed ads. That commercial would be hilarious.

It was a storage crate of some sort, not a semi.

I see what you're saying....the idea was to show you how strong the tow hooks are. That Nissan commercial was stupid.....there were several problems with that ad, 1) if you've tipped you truck over on it's roof, the last thing you're worried about is if the bike in the back is still tied down and 2) the Nissan had the bike tied down with at least 2 ropes, while the Ford had it tied down with one rope. Also that train with the frame ad, the frame is only going to be as strong as the chain pulling it, that doesn't show anything about frame strenght.

You beat me to it.....I was gonna say at least Ford will be using Ford vehicles behind the scenes.

I'm really watching it for the commercials, I'm not too interested in the game. It is close though.

I'm wondering the same thing Tom.
