Fords been leading the field amongst the domestic cars ever since the whole auto crisis thing hit Detroit. Its no shocker that they took the lead with the Taurus. Back in the 90s the Taurus was on top of its game unlit the Camrey took that spot. I haven't really seen anything shocking come out of Toyota in a long time. they have been coasting on their reputation ever since the 90s. mean while Detroit, not just Ford has been working hard to bring back their reputation... ok, maybe not building the right cars, and causing them selfs all kinds of problems, but I think they have been getting some if the quality back... I wouldn't call the Chrysler LX platform junk, (so what if its Mercedes table scraps... its still well built... for an American car) I'm no GM fan so I could care less about them. But I have to say I'm shocked by Ford, they truly seem to be building a good car again. I would say their turn around has been so successful and their cars such a change of pace from what they were making just a few years ago that I think they could have surpassed Toyota without the bad press. I haven't been surprised by a Toyota since the Matrix came out (I was attracted to the idea of a 4x4 wagon to compete with Subaru) but even those cars are just bland.

IDK suppose what I'm saying is, Good for Ford.
