Ford really blew an opportunity for gaining market share by maintaining a disregard for effective innovation.
What America could really use right now is a typically overbuilt Ford truck with an alternative energy powerplant. I think the Japanese will get there first, not so much because they are suffering from high gas prices over there, but because they recognize the market opportinuty over here.
And getting into Nascar next year is only going to add to the recognition of Toyota as an *American* company.
For the record for Toyota to be a REAL American Company, it had to be born in America,(like the Dodge Brothers, Walther P. Chrysler, Henry Ford, Ransom Olds,Fred &August Dusenberg, David Dunbar Buick et all .)
Bolting cars and trucks in the United States while providing decent paying jobs is commendable nevertheless.
OTOH that does not make Toyota a domestic brand.
I will bet Toyota greased a lot of suits to get to compete in Nascar, and obviously Nascar obliged.
Just do me a favor...don't piss on my leg and try to tell me it is raining!
