Lots of views, no takers. Perhaps it was a little obscure.
The pattern is In almost every class of vehcile, the Ford model received a 4/5 rating and beat the winner of the award in that year. So if the awards are based on vehicle facts, not marketing or other factors, how can this award apparently get it so wrong year after year?

I noticed, it, just didn't have anything profound to say about it.
It's good to see that Ford's are offering up great second hand value. Hopefully as time goes on, as these end up in the hands of young people as their first car, it will drive a bias towards the brand. |

But it is for a second hand car, the reasons for a New car winning over a secondhand car are a little bit different...
But yeah, Go ford!

once again nothing knew here bro...just this time its actually alittle more obvious as theyve failed to hide the fact that the fords r and have been class leading without the actual gongs for a long time now. Even with the wins they follow up with enough major flaws to scare even the steadiest of buyers off...heading them to the dull but still sufficient golfs and white toyotas. Forgot to check but without going back and looking again im sure there where about 5 to 1 stunning pictures of holdens to the fords desoite holdens lack of any wins in any categories for nearly forever..ha...slaps head AGAIN

it isn't a competition and even then the ford cars rate well.

Once more for the dummies , 4 out of 5 is a higher ranking than 3 out of 5 yet plenty of 3 out of 5 ranked cars won over a 4 out of 5 car . Yet again these morons expose their obvious anti Ford bias .
