Participant[quote=AN][quote=flu][quote=rnen]To be fair…. as far as I know Ford has not taken a dime from the tax payer.[/quote]
That is correct (for now).

Ford’s CEO just came out and said they’re competitive in the market now. I do like their power/drive train options now. Ford Europe has some great products and they’re finally smart enough to bring them stateside.[/quote]Given the pattern of CEO speak that means they are about to ask for money. But hey, who knows maybe we will have the first instance of honesty in the past 18 months, anything is possible.

At once upon a time, I had hoped GM would have done the same thing with Holden/Opel, bringing those designs stateside. Looks like it’s not going to happen.

ParticipantI kinda wonder if Ford isnt pissed the hell off about this whole bailout thing. They are obviously the strongest of the domestic three, they have no bailout $$, and should be getting all the benifits of the death of GM and Chrysler. F150 could pick up alot of the Chevy/Silverado/GM full size truck segment. Good things have been said about the Focus and Fusion, and they could swallow alot of the remaining domestic car segments. A mustang even replaced the Camaro in that terrible new “knight rider” show.
Hell, they prob could buy up Buick and a few other brands that are actually worth a few bucks and become THE domestic car manufacture. There are still alot of people out there who would buy a Ford LONG before they bought a Toyota.I guess they would have some supplier problems, but those could be worked out much quicker than solving the zombie automaker problem. Prob alot cheaper too.
