I'll concede the new Fords look better, but it will be a long time before I buy Ford again. We got my parent's 92 Taurus and it nickle and dimed us poor college students to death. We got rid of it as soon as we landed a job. Our Mitsubishi has not given us one problem since we traded in the Ford (8 years ago and 130,000 miles later).
I agree with Padraig. I've never associated IKEA with "low prices" We had an IKEA bunkbed and it wasn't all that stable compared to the bunkbed we got from a major furniture store.
