You would never guess that I was also a Ford guy (well, DUH!) and my '70 Torino has been through hell in the 33+ years that I have owned it. My '82 Mustang went through some reliablity issues during it's mid-life crisis, but since replacement of the engine, transmission, rear diff, most of the suspension and part of the electrical system, it is now fairly reliable. 
Unfortunately, since I bought the VX I haven't had the NEED for a new car, so I haven't been looking at the new Fords much. They haven't built anything yet that would pull me out of my VX! I do like the new Ecoboost engine.
I've also been following WRC racing this season, and it looked like the Citroen teams were going to run away and hide before Loeb lost focus (no pun intended) and the lead. Now it's a battle. Those guys are CRAZY!!
