This is so friekin funny. Ford makes this huge deal about having there exclusive “sync” technology and now basically the same thing is going to be in some of the lowest quality made cars out there. I can not believe that Ford only had a one year contract with Microsoft. Of course Microsoft may have only let them have a year. Any momentum that Ford may have gained buy having the Sync will disappear in a heart beet once these cars come out with it. If Ford was smart they would scrap that Microsoft crap right now and go with a totally unknown company that has the same technology but better quality. I feel like Ford is always screwing up on purpose. I wish they would stop it.
