Well, I agree that the new T-bird has had no problems, but there is no
way to compare it to a 20+ year old car. Heck, my wife's PT Cruiser
also has no real problems in it. I have no proof here, but I assume
that the T-bird is not a completely new car from the ground up. I am
sure it has been blessed with previous engineering successes. 
Look at the most reliable part of our D, the engine. It was a proven
engine before being introduced in the DeLorean, and look how little
problems it has caused. 
This thread comes up from time to time and all I keep looking at is a
1994 Dodge Ram I used to own. It was the 1st year of the new (well old
now) design. It had over 60 recalls on it since we got it. Look at it
now only a few years down the road... "The Mayor Of Truckville".

I will never say it is a perfect car, but looking at it's roots, it has
faired better then most upstarts.
