guy1974, I'm a participant in www.truedelta.com. If you look closely at their data, you will start to see the American cars moving upward, where foriegn cars are stagnating in quality ratings. (you can find the same movement in Consumer Reports, and other car rating sources.) Also consider this web site is unfortuantely easy to "taint" with bad data. Competition ... Read More...

Nope, zone4, I didn't forget about others. And YES competition is a very good thing. In this case it was an EXTREMELY good thing, as I stated that now American made cars and trucks are vastly better than before, and today becoming better than any Asian made vehicle. (P.S. don't get me started on the telecom thing, remember it blew up in the early 2000's due to competition ... Read More...

I have also looked at the Traverse and think it is a good looking large CUV. Similar to the Buick in some details. The GMC Acadia is the more traditional SUV styling and looks handsome. My wife and I looked at a Honda Pilot and a Chevy Traverse and my wife who usually favors imports thought the interior design and quality was better in the Chevy. one thing though Narg ...

Ford Flex Lease Questions

Re: Lease rates [bmmiller]

Written by: Car_man on Nov 17, 2008 05:55 PM

Hi bmmiller. It looks like you are in Ford's Detroit region. In your neck of the woods, Ford is currently providing a lease rate of 1.5% on the 2009 Flex. I believe that the only cash incentive that Ford is providing on the Flex in its Detroit region is $500 bonus cash. It doesn't really matter anyhow because Ford is scheduled to change its entire incentives program ... Read More...

Have you forgotten that Ford, Chevy, and Dodge sell their vehicles overseas? In fact if it wasn't for their overseas markets they would be more in debt and probably out of business. So when the people of other countries buy American vehicles they are sending money overseas also to America. American car companies don't make enough money to pay all their employees ...

This opinion is directed at all who posted here about so-called Asian quality... "Quality Surveys" are based on public opinion. Which in turn is based more on TV commercials rather than true reality. TV commercials where Toyota often flat out lies. (anyone recall the "meteor proof" commercial? Tell me that wasn't a lie...) Bottom line, GM & Ford today build ... Read More...

I saw the Traverse today at the dealership while I was having mu oil changed and it looked way better in person than it does online. The quality inside was incredible, enough so that I had to at least sit in it for a while and look around. It has the same controls as my Avalanche LTZ and seems to have taken a styling que from the Malibu, very nice. I would definantly consider ... Read More...

Actually what is ailing the American Car companies is there agreements with the Unions over the last 30 years which have made it much more difficult to compete in the world market. Case in point GM is the number one car maker in China, very successful in Brasil and Chevy is the number one car in eastern Europe. GM is producing incredible cars right now and all are receiving ...

Hi asteinberg. This vehicle's lease program varies by trim level. You never mentioned exactly which Flex you are interested in, so for now I will assume that you want an '09 Flex SE FWD. Let me know if you want something different. Ford Credit's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Ford Flex SE FWD with 15,000 miles per year are 1.5% ...
