Jason from Maineville, Ohio: I've been a longtime Ford fan, and I think it's terribly unfortunate that they only field about eight cars on a regular basis when a few years back they had more cars than any other manufacturer, including Chevrolet. I know Ford has dropped the ball when it comes to their research and development teams, but what is it going to take to get them back on top again?
