You normally drive a 98 Taurus and you call the ES 330 "the Slug"?
If you're Grandpa is only getting 14.8 and "being careful" you're only getting 18 out of the Lexus, you should probably get it looked at (and apparently your grandpa puts the pedal on the floor at ever stop light). My dad's 330 easily gets 22-23 in town without the careful driving. Even my lead foot gets that in town. Dad has managed 26-27 in town with the extra attention being paid to slower acceleration and such.
And, back to your post, yes, Fords do suck. I hated my mom's Explorer, I hate here current Escape. My brother has an Escape too, and he hates it more and more each day. Of course, he loves his other POS ('07 Camry), so I can't really give his opinion much consideration.
