well look at the mazda6 for instance (since my gf has one). the chassis and engine is identical to those of the ford fusion. but the m6 has been rated as one of the best sedans, up there with the accord, camry and etc.

or we can look at teh focus. yea OUR focus is crap, but the euro version is a killer.

we cant really say ford is a crap company cause some of their cars are crap. im sure ever car company has made a few mistakes.
