San Diego – Can a Ford beat a Toyota in Total Value? Yes! Although Ford Motor Company obtained only four Total Value leadership positions over the past four years, in 2007 Ford has added three additional wins to its collection: the Lincoln MKX, Ford Edge and Expedition EL. The Lincoln MKX is especially worthy, as it outscored the undefeated Lexus RX350. Although the Lexus brand name offers its customers a stronger belief in reliability and durability, the MKX product characteristics and features, specifically in areas as interior design, quality and roominess, offered at a lower price, makes each dollar spent on the MKX a better choice than the RX350.

Dont get me wrong, I'm not knocking the win (any win is a good one!) but they still aint at the top of the tree.

A few years ago -on another board that consisted mainly of Seppo's- we started talking Falcons and they all thought I was nuts by saying how bloody good they are.

Then someone over there said that they'd lived in OZ for a few years and our Falcons were 200% better all round than the Yankee ones.

And nearly all of the brands above them are premium luxury brands, including their own premium brands Lincoln and Mercury. Ford did well for an average brand.

Well done to Ford, Managed to beat Chrysler, Volvo, Saab, Subaru, Mazda and even Volkswagen.

That said, I was in the states earlier this year and rented a new Mustang Convertible. While it was a great looking beast, and sounded great (especially for a V6) the interior quality was nowhere near as good as my XR6 (nor as quick), but I must say I find it hard to believe that Ford (US) have higher quality than both Mazda and Volkswagen.
