meh... when you go to a show for a specific product, that much propaganda is bound to color your opinions... when I worked at a Dodge engine plant (filling vending machines) the 24/7 "Chrysler TV" show they broadcasted in every break room had me wanting a dodge truck by the time I quit the job. I later realized that; when you are exposed to marketing, scientifically designed to alter your view for any length of time, it WILL alter your view, if you don't guard your thoughts...

I'm just having some fun. Fords are not much better or worse than their competition. Excepting Toyota, which had made polishing their wares a company obsession.

I wouldn't buy a Ford Focus on a bet. They're hanger queens.
