Before you go off on another little tirade, keep in mind Ford still owns a small stake in AM.. not to mention Ford of Europe has had a version of the grill for close to a decade when they owned the majority of the company. With the exception of the Sync system, Fords are serious contenders in their respective segments and are only getting better. In fact my 2003 Explorer is a solid today as it was the first day I bought it 9 years ago. Never once had an issue. Please take your haterade somewhere else thanks

Some of their higher-end cars are nice, I'd love to take a '13 GT500 for a spin and I'd kill for a Ford GT in my garage but their econos are still rubbish. And whatever stake they own or used to own doesn't mean it's totally acceptable for them to staple the Aston grille onto said rubbish. That's my opinion. Deal with it.
