Ford Bold Moves - Episode 24: Ford hearts alt fuels
Bam, just when you think you're safe, another episode of the Ford Bold Moves documentary hits the web waves. Episode 24, titled Driving the Future, is all about Ford's focus on alternative fuels, including clean diesel technology and hydrogen fuel cells, among others. The documentary begins at the AltWheels Festival where some manufacturers actually showed up to show off their green stripes. Ford had its hydrogen fuel-cell powered Focus on hand, along with its hydrogen-powered bus (on sale now), its gaggle of hybrid Escapes and Mariners, and some E85 capable vehicles. Episode 24 is a chest thumper in which the Blue Oval pats itself on the back for all the investment dollars it's spent on green R&D. The producers also got a couple alternative fuel boosters to testify on the company's behalf.

Ford does not suck. America does not suck. Unions do not suck. The fact that I have seen more Fords break down more often with more weird problems than they should makes me leery of ever owning one. I buy cars that are functional and reliable, not just attractive. American Ford has not, thus far, proven that they can provide either of the first two. When they can consistently prove that their cars are as reliable (think over a ten-year basis) as their Japanese counterparts, then I will change my mind.

* Not that Japanese cars are perfect, either. My mother-in-law owns a 2001 Honda Accord (new style) that has always been a lemon. She is researching the lemon laws in my state to see if she has any legal recourse against American Honda, and has pledged that she will never buy another Honda again.
