Again, I will say that I'm impressed with how Ford is moving ahead with design changes, the ecoboost engines, etc..neat stuff. For the record I've owned several GM vehicles over the years and my last Ford was a 1984(I think) EXP so I'm no Ford fanboi.

Agreed on Ford. They seem to have realized that building high quality and innovative products is the key to success. Go figure. I have a 2012 F150 that I chose over a Tundra. In the last year I've had a rental Taurus and Escape, both left a very positive impression. I came very close earlier this year on buying a Focus ST, and was impressed in driving both the Focus and Fiesta ST. I really want to drive a new Mustang, I think they did a fantastic job on it. They are definitely on the right track.
