Well, today Ford is celebrating its seventh consecutive year as Britain’s most trust brand as voted by Reader’s Digest readers.

Ford won its category in the 2007 Reader’s Digest European Trusted Brands survey, which covers 15 countries, 38 product categories and assesses over 24,000 replies.

Doesn't say much for European taste. Maybe that side of the Atlantic Ocean makes you a little light headed.

Over Where ??

I sure hope you are not refering to europe ?
Where Manual Transmissions and Very Active Driving Styles are common and put these vehicles through their paces, Compared to the USA where Automatic transmissions and Super-Straight roads mean these vehicles are not strained at all. (Most of its life on cruise at 55-65 mph)

YOU GET THE "IDIOT OF THE YEAR" AWARD

The Mondeo shown in the movie Casino Royale is a hot looking car. I don't know why they don't sell it here. I would consider that car on style alone.

A Ford model in the US is not much, if at all different than one in Europe, and some variations, like the Focus cabrio.

There are some models that are exclusive to Europe though, like the Ka, Fiesta, Mondeo, etc.

Lol i know this will kinda be bragging but I have the best of both worlds
The new Captiva and that sedan from Chevy is here excellent cars. Our Mercedes comes direct from Germany. All our Nissans come from south America and so do the Toyota's a few from USA tho. Fords come from Europe Usa South America and Chrysler is just from USA
