Ford is getting bashed from every side. Earlier this week the American Family Association called for a boycott of Ford products because of the company's support of gays and ads in gay publications.

The problem with Bill Ford is that he hangs out with fellow limousine liberals and can't relate to the Ford buyer - Charlie Lunchbucket.

In terms of vehicles and management, Ford Motor Company is by far the weakest of the old "Big three." Billy's great grandfather started the company more than 100 years ago, and it just might go belly-up on Billy's watch.

I believe your observation is the most important of the causes. I worked as an auto technician for a Ford dealership for years and the company attitude toward buyers is exactly the problem. The newest Ford I own is a 70's Boss 302.
