Ford Focuses on safety for 2007

from autoblog.com:

"As promised, Ford is taking a page from Volvo's book and emphasizing safety for the 2007 model year for its Ford, Mercury and Lincoln brands. Side curtain airbags and rollover sensors -- factors that heavily contributed to the 2006 Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego earning the IIHS' highest rating of "Top Safety-Gold" -- will come standard on 14(!) Ford vehicles. The Expedition and Expedition EL's passengers will benefit from the addition of seat-mounted front-side air bags, a three-row Safety CanopyTM rollover detection system and AdvanceTrac® with RSC® (Roll Stability Control).

These newly added protective features come at a time where consumer demand for safety sits at the top of the most wanted list, followed directly behind quality and value. In fact, Ford cites a survey that found safety is now an "extremely important factor" for 54 percent of respondents, up from 51 percent in 2005.

hey be quiet. This is some major auto news (not really), but Its news that ford actually is taking a step that gm nor dcx has done. And proof that they're listening to customers. I'm actually supporting an AMERICAN company that needs the support.
