[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 948761, member: 60724"] It's funny how things come around. I've said it before, and this just makes me say it again. These types of reports come down to perception vs reality. Some feel that perception defines reality. To a certain extent, I agree with that. The question I have with Ford's new favor is: What changed more here - perception or reality? I think Toyota did get a little complacent from an engineering standpoint. I think Ford has caught up on many fronts. The problem with perception-based reality is that sometimes those that know the truth are most befuddled by such reports. Was Toyota ever really that good? Is Ford really that much better now? Those are interesting questions, but I submit that only a fool would debate them. I say that because they really don't matter. Such questions are debated through so-called facts, but the facts are subjective. At the end of the day the only thing that really matters is raw, hard sales numbers...because they are the best guage of what the consumer values. TJR [/QUOTE]
