With the discontinuation of the Crown Victoria & Panther Platform it is the first time since 1932 that Ford dealerships do not have a V8 sedan on their lots. The times are changing, and these changes are rather surprising and somewhat frightening to say the least. I personally love the Crown Victoria; dignified looks coupled with a comfy ride and that menacing look that only a former police vehicle can have. :-D
I think the rear seat isn't 100% real leather. Look at the shiny parts, I think they might be vinyl. But it doesn't really matter, because vinyl is so close to leather now that they may as well give up on it!
@GETaYOTA actually this is one of the nicest looking late model cars on the road. Comfort and durability were the focus of this car.... not "what's cool this year?"
@romankhaoz1 yeah he should do another Silverado or Sierra... but the extended cab model.
He's done videos of it before, but I want to know if I would fit in the back seat of an ext. cab (not crew cab) with comfort or enough comfort. I'm 5'10", same height as Kyle.
I don't care what people say, but we've had 5 of these and every single one has been perfect. I agree with @mustang633NY , they are (in my opinion) one of the best cars ever sold in North America! x
Love the Crown Vics, it's a shame that Ford quit selling them to the public market. Though I've been able to drive several being that I've been in the law enforcement field for several years.
These sports are not "blacked out" they have color-matched trim. If you get a silver one, it will have a silver grille and rear fascia. I almost bought a silver 2005 Sport myself, ended up with a 2004 Police Interceptor which I currently have. All Ive ever owned is Crown Vics.
I'm currently driving a 1999 Ford Cown Victoria and I love the sound of the 4.6 liter V8. Big American rear wheel drive V8 sedans are sadly disappearing or dissappeared. Lets just hope that Chevy sells the Caprice down here in the U.S. for costumer sales and not only for fleet sales next year or soon. It's currently being sold in Europe to costumers now and has been. :/
@oldtime40s Body on frame is basically what it sounds like...the vehicle body is a separate entity from the frame. You could take the two apart and work with them separately. (Note that I didn't say easily, I'm not that pretentious or delusional.)
Contrast this to pretty much every other passenger car on the market. Those use unibody (or monocoque) construction. The frame and body are one unit. This can be harder to fix after an accident.
Ford got big respect ; no offence , but US models really SUCK
2006 Crown Victoria : 55 HP/L , 2 valves/cyl , big as S-Klasse outside and not more than 5-Series inside , rear live axle , revs on neutral like starting with 2nd , looks like an Audi 200 , >1.8t , 15-23mpg .
2011 VW Passat V6 w SunRoof : FWD , all independent suspension , 3.6L engine 280 HP , 1.5t , 20-28mpg
i take the 2nd
2011 Ford Mondeo 2.0 EcoBoost 203 HP : 300Nm ~23-32 mpg , FWD , all independent suspension
What the hell is up with all the arguing whether european or american cars are better?
Comparing a Ford Crown Vic to a BMW or Mercedes is like comparing apples to oranges. Just quit it.
If you want unmatched luxury, technology and styling and also have the money to pay for it (as well as for the higher maintenance costs), buy a BMW, Merc or Audi or whatever. If you don't want that or don't have the money, buy a Ford. Simple. No need to dicuss or get butthurt.
@ratmtbola Well spoken. I have to say that after enduring some 8 years with german premium cars that cost a fortune to repair and where you need a PHD in computer science to do anything under the bonnet. It feels good to be back on track with good old american v8's
@desertfox2020 My American made vehicle has run 55k mil. so far, and it is starting to fall apart, literally speaking. After some "investigation" I think I know why, around 50% of the parts in this car are made in China, 25% are from countries that I could barley find on a Map and all those "Quality" parts where put together in Mexico. And then got a Dodge badge attached to it (btw. that Dodge batch is made in China too) and was sold as a "American" Car
hey kyle i subbed to you about a month after i finally got a youtube channel your videos are great i'm hoping to do something like this as well my review style is about the same check out my video on a 2004 buick rendevzous cxl i have on my channel if you want to but i don't use imovie or anything else please check it out
This is a sportscar???? lol Should be called the "uninspired innovation" edition or the same as last yrs model X8. The Ford engineers either were asleep for 8 yrs or played alot of golf.
Take a chill pill man, no need to get pissed off at a kid for misspelling one word and yes I do know the difference between them, I was just making my sentence quicker than putting inline six cylender. So u posted a worthless comment retard
@Waffleater1 Comparing a Subaru which is mostly targets younger buyers to the crown vic which was meant to target older buyers doesn't make sense. Ultra modern interiors most likely would have turned off older buyers who favor a traditional American interior. You act as if the Crown Vic was some kind of flop. It was one highest selling full size car in the US. How many Subaru's were sold in the US in 96'? Have you even driven a crown Vic? The highway ride is very nice.
The american car industry is amazing. To those assholes complaning about the car, I bet 99 % of you can't afford an Mercedes or a BMW. Cars like the Crown Victoria cost in the United States as much as a Fiat Panda in Europe.
I'm American, and I think European cars are much more solidly built. My grandfather had an old Cadillac and almost every time he drove it, it broke down. He would get it fixed but then he would have the same problem. Finally he got sick of it and bought a Toyota Avalon. He has had that car ever since and loves it.
@ItaliaFerrari1 My dad has a 1991 Cadillac.. It has 200k miles and we still drive all the time. he bought it brand new. I've jumped it, crossed rivers in it, took it offroad, and pulled trucks out of mud in it. Still runs perfect.
ok ill fucking be real here: none car is better than the other. it all depends on how well the owner takes care of it. and all cars have their good and bad part.
Japanese cars are fuel efficient and VERY dependable, yet they dont have the most powerful engines, american cars with large engines, provide lots of power at low rpms to tow heavy loads like boats or trailers, but they lack handling and fuel economy.. and european cars have the best engines, but shitty electronics AND high price
@austinman1995 LOL! I would love to see you try to carry around building material in a damn Renault. Yes. People do need these huge ass motors... Some need them to show stupid foreigners how to drive the RIGHT way. I'm sure some rich ass person drives a Mercedes SLS with the 6.2 as an everyday driver.
My god, so many American and European fanboys. There is no doubt, Europe makes higher quality vehicles, and America makes cheap, plastic cars. I'm American, I've owned a Corvette, and plenty fords, their not all bad, but their not the best. I'll stick with my BMW!
BMW's aren't any better.. just paying for the name and all the ridiculously unpractical unreliable electronics.
And before you say i'm wrong i don't know what i'm talking about.. i've worked at a dealership as a technician. So yes, i know what i'm talking about.
@transamphoenix Seriously? BMW's aren't any better? Have you looked at a BMW interior lately? On a completely different level as anything American.
And which of the electronics BMW uses is 'unpractical'? As far as I see things BMW is always one of the first in introducing new innovations (along with Mercedes, Audi and sometimes Lexus) and a couple of years later we see all that stuff in cheaper, lower entry cars.
@ratmtbola I'm not saying anything about interior, i mean the whole general vehicle. They aren't a very reliable car, and they're a money pit to own. I agree the interior is nice, but it damn well better be if i'm paying 60 grand for a family car..
@transamphoenix I think you kinda missed the sense of a BMW. If you want an affordable family car, BMW is obviously the wrong place to look at. Better stick to cheap, reliable but boring and passionless Chevy or Toyota.
And since when are auto closing doors unpractical? They're realy convenient if you fail to close the door all the way.
And what does this have to do with being lazy? As far as I see things we Americans are lazier than any other freaking population in the world.
@fitz207 Well, I sure know enough Americans to make a statement like 'we Americans are lazier than everyone else'. Also, I've spent close to 5 years of my life in Germany, France and the UK. I very well know what I'm talking about here.
@ratmtbola Well i see a lot of younger people as lazy. Regardless of where they come from. Look at these morons protesting across the country. You can't get anywhere in life if you aren't willing to work hard. But at the same time you have these spoiled brats in the UK doing the same thing over a tuition hike. I guess someone forgot to tell them about something called a part time job. Life isn't fair. But that's life.
@fitz207 You're surely right about those protesting guys.
But hey, we were talking about cars. And, c'mon, when it comes to using cars and being lazy when it comes to walking on foot, Americans ARE lazier than pretty much everyone else in the world.
@ratmtbola Actually that's not laziness, the size of our country is the main reason we drive most of the time. Americans also tend to live in the suburbs, so walking to work isn't practical. But remember places like NYC where most residents don't own cars do walk to the store and to work or take the train. Also in many other parts of the world people can't afford a car. Cars are cheap in the US. So is gas and insurance compared to many parts of the world.
@ratmtbola I'm originally from rural Minnesota so obviously we had to drive to get to the store or to work. But I've been working since i was 12 years old. I'm not lazy simply because i choose to drive rather than walk. You're not lazy if you get up and go to work to work everyday. I know tons of lazy people who walk everywhere. They walk because they don't work, so they have no car so they have no other choice.
@fitz207 liberals w/ labor unions and fairy tails of college being a sure fire way to make bucks. thats why ppl are lazy. others are lazy because they have welfare to take car of them. But this is a good video about one of the best cars ever sold in North America so no political bull
@ratmtbola as far as unpractical electronics? how about 2 person memory passenger seats? or automatic closing doors? the i-drive bullshit? the ability not to be able to check your oil with a conventional dip stick? how freaking lazy are these german's? i'm an american, i can close my own damn door.
@ratmtbola BMWs are nice cars, but a bit overpriced. I think my Ford Expedition King Ranch 4x4 which cost 51,000 is a pretty nice luxury SUV, and I don't have to go buy some 75,000-100,000 SUV and get the same technology believe it or not, not to mention BMW's and Mercedes bad reliability.Take it from Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson,he'll even tell you that Mercedes' and BMW's are somewhat unreliable.I've always had top end luxury Fords and they can keep up pretty well with the Germans in my opinion.
@kendrickevans301 Jeremy Clarkson is a well known BMW hater. Don't take anything he says about them for granted.
And if you think that a well equipped Ford can keep up with a BMW, you definitely haven't driven one. Besides the fact that a BMW X5 starts at just under 50k, and not +75k, Ford is definitely NOT on a same level in terms of technology.
Only thing I'll give to you is that BMW's are somewhat unreliable. But then again, that's not a main priority in high end luxury cars
@ratmtbola What does your BMW have that my Ford doesn't,the only thing I can think of is a BMW badge, that's about it, it has a voice command telephonic/entertainment system (Microsoft SYNC) ,accident avoidance technology,Automatic Parallel Parking (yes ford has that),Nice King Ranch edition chaparral leather,rear view back up camera,and not to mention it's more practical than a BMW being it can tow 9,200 lbs and has way more cargo capacity,and passenger comfort,and mines is a bit more reliable.
@kendrickevans301 Does your Ford have a head-up display? Night vision assist? Active lane-keeping and lane-change assist? Blindspot assist? An adaptive, radar guied cruise control?Massage seats? Auto soft closing doors? An 8 speed automatic transmission? Guess not. And those are by far not all things.
I hope you were joking about the voice command thing. Even my old VW has that. Same for the back up camera and the leather.
@ratmtbola Check again; look harder. Not everything is verbatim. Massaging seats=Active Motion seats. Radar guided cruise control=adaptive cruise control. The list goes on.
@ratmtbola It actually does have LKA (lane keep assist), and blind spot warning system, but it doesn't have al that unpractical shit like "AUTO CLOSING DOORS", I don't need that because I have to arms I can close my own damn doors, and it has a 6 speed transmission, but you do know that the Ford Taurus SHO HAS ALL OF THAT, plus more, at 25% the price as a shity BMW
@kendrickevans301 First, the Taurus does NOT have all of that. Some, but not all.
You just seem to be an ignorant, narrowminded dickhead if you call a BMW 'shitty'.
Look, I like Ford. They build really good cars at a good pricepoint. But they just CAN NOT compare to a BMW (doesn't necessarily need to be a BMW, could also be a Mercedes or Audi) when it comes to luxury and/or technology. They just CAN'T. And that's a FACT.
@ratmtbola Look,I think a BMW is shitty, because frankly all you are paying for is the name,yesBMW has a higher reputation of being more luxurious than many other cars, but the act of the matter is MOST of the stuff you get in the BMW,you can get in a ford for half the damn price. What do I need to pay almost 15,000 just to get Auto Closing Doors, BMW BADGE,and a 8 speed transmission look we all have our opinions,I just think all those German cars are just simply to expensive for what they offer
@kendrickevans301 You, my friend, are fucking retarted and an idiot. Sorry, but there's just no other way to describe your ignorance.
What you pay for in a BMW is luxury. The interior quality of Fords or other cheaper cars is not even NEAR BMW's. You pay for cars that are UNSURPASSED in terms of handling in their respective classes.
There's a very good reason why Ford isn't even considered a competitor for BMW. Just on a whole different level. Quit your stupid narrowminded hate
@ratmtbola I may be all those above things, but one thing I do know is that BMW's interior is not worth 20,000 extra dollars in comparison to a ford. The Ford King Ranch Leather uses actual "Cow Hide" leather, ok. I understand what you are saying, yes the BMW is more luxurious, but is it 20,000 dollars more luxurious than a ford? the answer is HELL NO, and beside they are again very unpractical, if you have money, you're going to want a boat (but nothing to tow it with) lol and the price again.
@ratmtbola Besides the auto closing doors, and name badge, they are both very nice and stylish vehicles.....both are very luxurious.....the king ranch and BMW that is.....like I said you have your opinion and I have mine....I think in comparison yes the BMW is more luxurious but not 15-20,000$ more luxurious, hell not even 5,000 more...the BMW is just way to overprice for basically being able to do the same thing if you think about it lol
@kendrickevans301 Why is it that you think that a BMW is 20k more expensive than your king ranch? A maxed out king ranch is close to 60k. You can get a fully loaded 535i for that kind of money. And a fully loaded 400HP 550i isn't much more.
Fact is that a BMW is more luxurious, features more, better technology and is a WHOLE lot more fun to drive. That's what you pay for.
@ratmtbola A fully Loaded King Ranch Equipped Expedition does not cost 60,000, you can get then easily for about 49-51,000.......I have one I should know, and the f250 I have cost about the same...and all I'm saying is that for that kind of money i'd rather by something practical, since I have a family who loves the outdoors. Yes, the BMW is a nice car but a bit unpractical and expensive, that's all i'm saying buddy

Yes, the BMW is a nice car but a bit unpractical and expensive, that's all i'm saying buddy.I have a 7,100 lb contender vessel and trailer plus more,and a BMW can't tow that much
@kendrickevans301 Well, I just visited the Ford website and a maxed out King Ranch DOES cost juts over 60k.
And a BMW is obviously not the right car for you if all you want from it is practicality. But that's no reason to bash them and call them 'shitty'. Especially since they're just way better cars, as long as it doesn't come to sheer practicality. There's a very good reason why Ford never was considered, is not considered and never will be considered a competitor for BMW.
@ratmtbola ok, well maybe now it does but when I bought my trucks 2 years ago, they cost me no where near 60,000. Again, i'll take back the fact they are shitty, I was getting a little mad, but like you said maybe I shouldn't have it if all I want is sheer practicality.
@kendrickevans301 Exactly. They're just different cars. Of course a BMW can't keep up with your King Ranch in terms of practicality. Just as your King Ranch handles nowhere near as good as any BMW and isn't as luxurious. Just two completely different cars, companies that shouldn't be compared to each other.
All in all a BMW surely is the better overall car. But it of course comes at a price. Most Fords are obviously considerably cheaper than most BMWs.
@kendrickevans301 who the heck spends 51k on one vehicle? thats just wasteful. A new truck is around 30k for an extended and a 1 year old full sized car is about 20k or less and you can have a truck and a car that gets 25 - 30mpg... idk thats just the country boy in me talking i guess.... comparing a BMW to a ford is a bit silly but then again so is spending 50k on a vehicle that is impractical unless you own a construction company and need to move the workers and a trailer
@mustang633NY what's impractical about a SUV tho? I mean, they have the passenger carrying capability, the cargo carrying capability, the towing capability, they are like a all purpose vehicle, and I happen to have a big family and a couple of heavy trailer a regular crossover like a edge or traverse won't handle....so basically I need a SUV, yeah maybe not a top of the line King Ranch but I like luxury.They are way more practical than a 60,000$+ vehicle (BMW) that only good for one thing, fast
@Almigado LOL SHIT! I still have a 19 year old Chevrolet S-10 Blazer with right at 300,000 miles on it. Everything mechanical is original. Leather everywhere. Nice car, reliable. And no techy shit that is pointless...
@unbreackable3000 My American made vehicle has 300k km on it, and all the important stuff is still original. The starter went out once, and the computer went out once. Everything else mechanical is original. I don't dispute any brand or country's reliability, but I do take offense to any hate being spewed against any brand or country. How long a car lasts depends more on how its driven and how well its maintained, than where it came from or who built it.
@desertfox2020 I AGREE 100% WITH YOU! But lot of people thinks that American cars are not reliable like @unbreackable3000 they don't understand that what you said is the truth!
@unbreackable3000 American cars are as well-built as imports and always have been. People who believe foreign cars are better are victims of propaganda!
A lot of people think that American cars are so poorly made that they constantly break down and require continuous and expensive maintenence. They think the opposite about Japanese cars. They think Japanese cars are solidly built and will run forever. Both of these extremes are myths.
@austinman1995 I'm the one NOT hating on anything.... You were hating on alot of things. I drive a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500, and I'm damn proud of it. I love Audi too, though I can't afford one. You must come from a wealthy family, good for you, I didn't. But I'm not going to hate on you or what you drive. One of my best friends drives a Prius, I don't bash it. However you say "GIANT 5.7 HEMI V-8 in a car that does city driving?" Last time I checked, the A8 has a 6.0L V8, so stop being a hypocrite.
the only good ford and they stopped making it :(

Contrast this to pretty much every other passenger car on the market. Those use unibody (or monocoque) construction. The frame and body are one unit. This can be harder to fix after an accident.

@desertfox2020 My American made vehicle has run 55k mil. so far, and it is starting to fall apart, literally speaking. After some "investigation" I think I know why, around 50% of the parts in this car are made in China, 25% are from countries that I could barley find on a Map and all those "Quality" parts where put together in Mexico. And then got a Dodge badge attached to it (btw. that Dodge batch is made in China too) and was sold as a "American" Car

Waffleater1 2 months ago
@Waffleater1 Comparing a Subaru which is mostly targets younger buyers to the crown vic which was meant to target older buyers doesn't make sense. Ultra modern interiors most likely would have turned off older buyers who favor a traditional American interior. You act as if the Crown Vic was some kind of flop. It was one highest selling full size car in the US. How many Subaru's were sold in the US in 96'? Have you even driven a crown Vic? The highway ride is very nice.

And which of the electronics BMW uses is 'unpractical'? As far as I see things BMW is always one of the first in introducing new innovations (along with Mercedes, Audi and sometimes Lexus) and a couple of years later we see all that stuff in cheaper, lower entry cars.

@ratmtbola I'm not saying anything about interior, i mean the whole general vehicle. They aren't a very reliable car, and they're a money pit to own. I agree the interior is nice, but it damn well better be if i'm paying 60 grand for a family car..

@transamphoenix I think you kinda missed the sense of a BMW. If you want an affordable family car, BMW is obviously the wrong place to look at. Better stick to cheap, reliable but boring and passionless Chevy or Toyota.
And since when are auto closing doors unpractical? They're realy convenient if you fail to close the door all the way.
And what does this have to do with being lazy? As far as I see things we Americans are lazier than any other freaking population in the world.

But hey, we were talking about cars. And, c'mon, when it comes to using cars and being lazy when it comes to walking on foot, Americans ARE lazier than pretty much everyone else in the world.
ratmtbola 2 months ago
@ratmtbola Actually that's not laziness, the size of our country is the main reason we drive most of the time. Americans also tend to live in the suburbs, so walking to work isn't practical. But remember places like NYC where most residents don't own cars do walk to the store and to work or take the train. Also in many other parts of the world people can't afford a car. Cars are cheap in the US. So is gas and insurance compared to many parts of the world.
fitz207 2 months ago
@ratmtbola I'm originally from rural Minnesota so obviously we had to drive to get to the store or to work. But I've been working since i was 12 years old. I'm not lazy simply because i choose to drive rather than walk. You're not lazy if you get up and go to work to work everyday. I know tons of lazy people who walk everywhere. They walk because they don't work, so they have no car so they have no other choice.

@ratmtbola BMWs are nice cars, but a bit overpriced. I think my Ford Expedition King Ranch 4x4 which cost 51,000 is a pretty nice luxury SUV, and I don't have to go buy some 75,000-100,000 SUV and get the same technology believe it or not, not to mention BMW's and Mercedes bad reliability.Take it from Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson,he'll even tell you that Mercedes' and BMW's are somewhat unreliable.I've always had top end luxury Fords and they can keep up pretty well with the Germans in my opinion.
kendrickevans301 2 months ago
@kendrickevans301 Jeremy Clarkson is a well known BMW hater. Don't take anything he says about them for granted.
And if you think that a well equipped Ford can keep up with a BMW, you definitely haven't driven one. Besides the fact that a BMW X5 starts at just under 50k, and not +75k, Ford is definitely NOT on a same level in terms of technology.
Only thing I'll give to you is that BMW's are somewhat unreliable. But then again, that's not a main priority in high end luxury cars
ratmtbola 2 months ago
@ratmtbola What does your BMW have that my Ford doesn't,the only thing I can think of is a BMW badge, that's about it, it has a voice command telephonic/entertainment system (Microsoft SYNC) ,accident avoidance technology,Automatic Parallel Parking (yes ford has that),Nice King Ranch edition chaparral leather,rear view back up camera,and not to mention it's more practical than a BMW being it can tow 9,200 lbs and has way more cargo capacity,and passenger comfort,and mines is a bit more reliable.

@kendrickevans301 Does your Ford have a head-up display? Night vision assist? Active lane-keeping and lane-change assist? Blindspot assist? An adaptive, radar guied cruise control?Massage seats?

Look, I like Ford. They build really good cars at a good pricepoint. But they just CAN NOT compare to a BMW (doesn't necessarily need to be a BMW, could also be a Mercedes or Audi) when it comes to luxury and/or technology. They just CAN'T. And that's a FACT.

@ratmtbola Look,I think a BMW is shitty, because frankly all you are paying for is the name,yesBMW has a higher reputation of being more luxurious than many other cars, but the act of the matter is MOST of the stuff you get in the BMW,you can get in a ford for half the damn price. What do I need to pay almost 15,000 just to get Auto Closing Doors, BMW BADGE,and a 8 speed transmission look we all have our opinions,I just think all those German cars are just simply to expensive for what they offer

There's a very good reason why Ford isn't even considered a competitor for BMW. Just on a whole different level. Quit your stupid narrowminded hate
ratmtbola 1 month ago
@ratmtbola I may be all those above things, but one thing I do know is that BMW's interior is not worth 20,000 extra dollars in comparison to a ford. The Ford King Ranch Leather uses actual "Cow Hide" leather, ok. I understand what you are saying, yes the BMW is more luxurious, but is it 20,000 dollars more luxurious than a ford? the answer is HELL NO, and beside they are again very unpractical, if you have money, you're going to want a boat (but nothing to tow it with) lol and the price again.
kendrickevans301 1 month ago
@ratmtbola Besides the auto closing doors, and name badge, they are both very nice and stylish vehicles.....both are very luxurious.....the king ranch and BMW that is.....like I said you have your opinion and I have mine....I think in comparison yes the BMW is more luxurious but not 15-20,000$ more luxurious, hell not even 5,000 more...the BMW is just way to overprice for basically being able to do the same thing if you think about it lol
kendrickevans301 1 month ago
@kendrickevans301 Why is it that you think that a BMW is 20k more expensive than your king ranch? A maxed out king ranch is close to 60k. You can get a fully loaded 535i for that kind of money. And a fully loaded 400HP 550i isn't much more.
Fact is that a BMW is more luxurious, features more, better technology and is a WHOLE lot more fun to drive. That's what you pay for.

And a BMW is obviously not the right car for you if all you want from it is practicality. But that's no reason to bash them and call them 'shitty'. Especially since they're just way better cars, as long as it doesn't come to sheer practicality. There's a very good reason why Ford never was considered, is not considered and never will be considered a competitor for BMW.

@ratmtbola ok, well maybe now it does but when I bought my trucks 2 years ago, they cost me no where near 60,000. Again, i'll take back the fact they are shitty, I was getting a little mad, but like you said maybe I shouldn't have it if all I want is sheer practicality.
kendrickevans301 1 month ago
@kendrickevans301 Exactly. They're just different cars. Of course a BMW can't keep up with your King Ranch in terms of practicality. Just as your King Ranch handles nowhere near as good as any BMW and isn't as luxurious. Just two completely different cars, companies that shouldn't be compared to each other.
All in all a BMW surely is the better overall car. But it of course comes at a price. Most Fords are obviously considerably cheaper than most BMWs.
