Ford's dual clutch transmission is brilliant, but folks are not used to the "feel" and are bringing them back to dealers looking for the traditional slushbox experience.
I have not driven the Vertex / Escape, but the other Ford products in the garage have been astonishingly good.
Hopeful Contract 2012 is good. I NEED a BOSS 302 with the Laguna Seca package, really, really, badly.
