“The best cars we have owned are a Ford and a Toyota.”
Ford’s partnership with Mazda has paid off. (I hear they’re ending the relationship?)
That’s exactly what we own, my wife bought a new 2008 Escape, (Mazda Tribute). Very nice car, a little underpowered in the 4 cylinder model, but nice. She likes it a lot.
I had an 02 Bonneville that would break in the driveway. It was crap, and the dealer didn’t care. Traded it away and got a used 05 Camry with 26k miles. I’m quite happy.
Screw GM.
Ford recently sold off (or is in the process of doing so) their substantial ownership stake in Mazda (I think they owned about 35% of Mazda). From what I understand, the two companies will continue to maintain the strategic alliance on a certain level, including sharing technology and perhaps even cross-branding vehicles like they did before.
