So if customers are not satisfied with their MyTouch, then yes, it will show.

MyTouch freezing and rebooting which in turns disabled your A/C (and in some cases, starts blowing cold air at top speed until it is rebooted), is IMHO larger issue than inherent low speed jerkiness of powershift.

I had to LOL at this, and totally agree. ...Or when the 330i had complete electronic failure, yet still won their entry level luxury sport sedan comparison a few years ago.

Out of curiosity, what makes Ford so special that C&D decided to go after J.D. Power? Where was C&D (or any of the automotive media) when Toyota was wrongfully accused of unintended acceleration? Shut up, stop worrying about other group's methodology, and keep writing nice toilet paper.
