[TheForge] Brand Loyalty?

[Peter Fels And Phoebe Palmer]

Y'know Bob;
I had a '60 Peugeot 4 door that i used as a truck with the back 
seat removed. A fairly sizeable car by today's standards, great 
seats , comfy suspension and the original radial tires that went 
over 60000 miles.
  It got 32 mpg consistantly on the hwy and was quite reliable. I 
beat and overloaded it mercilessly and it seldom faltered.
46 years later ford equals it, sorta.....pf
