At Ford’s recent 2008 product information event, the Blue Oval showed that it’s catching up to the competition on many fronts, including powertrains, interior quality, and overall refinement. The fact is, the folks over in Dearborn are playing catch-up vs. the competition, and in some ways Ford has a lot of work ahead of it. One area where the automaker’s been lacking was with regards to iPod compatibility and integration in its vehicles, but with Microsoft’s Sync technology rolling out for 2008, Ford’s ready to jump to the head of the class.
