Most domestics have no problems starting in the morning. Why wouldn't people want style? Wanting style or not does not track with how much you want to spend or the type of vehicle you're looking for, but rather more with the personality. Family sedans do not have to be dull, boring, and bland, which is why cars like the Mazda6 sell so well. On paper it just has a tough time competing with the Camry and Accord. But the styling is what sells it, along with the better handling and braking.
Or maybe they just want them to look exciting, or (shudder) AMERICAN! The Chrysler 300C was an instant hit and they still sell tons of them. Now compare that to the Charger. That one is extremely dull looking to me, and it's also a dud.

2. I wasn't taking a shot at Ford being unreilable.
3. Yeah, its cool to look exciting and clearly it sells (the Altima comes to mind).
