Ford is doing many things that will lead to North American success.
Via MSNBC: Ford beats Toyota in quality rankings
Via Autoblog: Ford, Honda score high on safety test
And Ford makes AWD optional on most vehicles. Once they can retool factories to become a true world brand and hence have more fuel efficient vehicles for sale in the U.S. I would not be surprised to see Ford reverse its market-share slide. The question I have is how will they respond to BlueTec diesels and clean diesels from Honda and Subaru?
