Love how you say it as it is...:)

Hi Luminator, sorry I am late getting back to you. I did not realize there was a message for me in my comment box. I have even forgotten the date I left you an inquiry. Thanks for your response. TTYL. meg

Thanks for the request, Luminator. I like to joke a lot, so please don't take me seriously here. I look forward to seeing you around

Also for future reference, if posters would please leave their user-name on my site after leaving a message, I would greatly appreciate it. I will respond to your posting both via my page and yours. Thank you.

I must admit, I was unaware of the JD Powers initial quality ratings with the scores you mentioned. I was making a judgement based on Consumer Reports ratings, and from Consumer Projections that while Ford may start with quality that surpasses or matches imports, the longevity of the company's vehicles is still lack-luster. That being said, Ford has made the largest strides towards a more American consumer friendly vehicle market and I applaud them for that, I hope they continue to succeed and eventually beat out all import models in every category, but until that time, I will weigh imports as the best overall vehicles available to the American consumer.

In other news... I apologize for my late reply, I honestly didn't even know other author's could leave notes on my page, thanks for the information, I don't enjoy being proven wrong, but am happy to realize and fix a mistake instead of wandering around in a haze of ignorance.
