Szott Ford

Even those of us who have a penchant for Ford, can admit that in the past, the American automaker did not have the best reputation or brand image. People often referred to Ford cars and trucks as "Found Dead on the Road" or "Fix or Repair Daily". The point is: that was then, this is now.

Over the past few years Ford has undergone many evolutions, shedding the imperfections which served to fuel such childish nicknames for an image of trust, coolness, quality, reliability, and fuel economy. The proof is in sales, the awards, and Forbes' 2011 Worst Cars on the Road list.

The 2011 Worst Cars on the Road list, you say? Why would we mention such unflattering list? Certainly not because Ford is on it - rather the reason is we're bringing it up is for Fords absence.

What makes this such a significant accomplishment is the fact that most all of the cars on the list are American made. This serves to sets Ford apart from its closest competitors.  Not to mention, the fact that even a few "higher-end imports"  made the list, speaks volumes as well.

To determine their 2011 Worst Cars on the Road list, Forbes magazine reviewed the lowest-rated vehicles from six reliability and performance studies conducted by Consumer Reports, this year. Any vehicle named among the worst in at least two of those studies is featured.
