Enough credit? Ford has REPEATEDLY turned out junk that was supposed be reliable. They had built the Focus for THREE years before bringing to the US, so you figure they would have ironed any bugs out. But, no, the Ford Focus ended up being the worst car for recalls. Mine had repeated flooding, endless starting problems, and finally an ignition lock that just disintegrated - things that I have NEVER encountered in my 20 years of driving imports. In fact, the Scion that replaced the Ford (which was also in Japan for three years before coming here) had ONE minor fault in the three years I had it. ONE.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

<<The previous generation Camry's 3.3L V6 engine was rated by the manufacturer at 210HP and re-rated with the new SAE rules at 190HP.>>
Um, yes, I really don't think you can blame Toyota for a ratings change that is BEYOND THEIR CONTROL.
