My Take: I watched the new James Bond movie this weekend and I noticed Ford spent a good chunk of their marketing cash advertising their line up. I probably saw the LR3 more than any other Ford on the film. On a side note, an old beat-up Ford Bronco got some screen time, imagine that! Anyway, Ford Credit lease rate are terrible right now, so avoid leasing through them. Go with an independent bank or find one using Leasecompare.com if you don’t have one.
