When i worked for Ford (salaried @ a Ranger plant) i owned a BMW. The security guard at the entrance stopped me one day and motioned to roll the windows. He proceded to tell me that in years past they would not allow a foreign car into the parking lot. This happened in the late 90's. This is also when the quality of Ford products sucked big time. I ventured to get an Edge this time around due to A-plan, incentives and incredible enterior quality for a Ford. I only hope Ford continues this "bold" redesign through their whole line.
