SHO and with a 6 speed auto to boot!
I bought a 2009 F150 this year, special ordered XL w/the 4.6 3V and 6 speed auto and man, does that truck drive Sweeeet! The smoothest shifting and driving truck i have ever had.
Gm does have some great cars and trucks, but Ford seems to have the edge on them for now.
Not sure if it's fair to directly compare GM to Ford. Globaly, GM and Toyota sold about 9.3million units in 2007. Ford had sold around 5.6mil. And now, post "poo hit the fan," the economy is of course going to affect the larger company more (Ford and GM have had similar % percentage drops, while obvious the foreign makers have had less).
My problem with Ford, is Lincoln. The MKS and MKZ are good cars, but they're a step back. They're not CTS/G37/3/5-series competitors. They had been headed in the right direction with the LS, but now are back to FWD platform's. And other then the Town Car, which is a relic, solely around for fleet sales, don't offer a V8 powered car.
