Must be just about price? Top of the line Taurus against the bottom line A6?
The Ford is just butt-ugly.

I would hope ford wouldn't put something where they lost on their own website...
It's nice that it has decent straight line performance, but in most other ways I am sure the Audi would win, except maybe reliability. I drive a Ford too, so I am not trying to bash them. It is just propaganda.

Well considering the whole point of the video was how the turbo V6 was better than a NA V8, why would they choose another FI engine to compare to???

It isnt about the performance.
Image is just as important. What are you portraying when you have a car that looks the same as the one on the Enterprise lot and sounds like a Washing machine? Yep, "I got a huge discount on it and i had to, really".

I'll never understand why people get butthurt that a Ford can produce similar or better numbers than a foreign? Some of you are making the sorriest excuses I've seen. This entire thread so far is riddled with simple anti-Ford fanboyism and poor excuse-making.

The new 2011 Ford Gt apparently doesn't handle that bad unless you think the lap times of an M3 also suck. As for reliability - BMW is definitely not a more reliable manufacturer. What about cost of maintenance?, parts? etc. The Ford GT40 was also a pretty good car if I remember correctly. |
