Oh damn I thought this was about Harold Ford...
I will never buy another Ford vehicle, until
they stop promoting and cultvating the
dead-ender death sex culture that they
have been espousing.
Get smart, Ford. If you'd just be more public in your snuggling up to the sodomite market, and create more crappy cars, that'd help you surge right back to your rightful place in the international automobile market.
Might I suggest a new, phalic shaped vehicle called the "Domestic Partnership" where the wheels fall off at high speeds?

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.
Out of the several Fords myself and my family have owned, (or driven as company cars), all but two lived up to the "Fix Or Repair Daily" acronym. It's a company that richly deserves to go out of business.
build those SUVs
..............
???how many people want a SUV,
who don't already have one?
or perhaps a demand for used SUVs overseas,
because of a large useful bombload
I'm considering a Fusion. They are well built, from my test drive and a decent performance value. But.. They need to be a little bit better if possible. ABS brakes need to be standard and other features as well.
"Ford also spooked investors by revealing it would restate results from 2001 through to this year's third quarter, "to correct the accounting for certain derivative transactions" by its consumer credit division."
If the restatement makes things look better than before, it will be astonishing. Five years of chicanery or honest mistake? I'd be 'spooked' too.
I've always owned Fords. I have had 3 Escorts, 1 Tempo, 1 Ranger and a Windstar.
My present 1995 Escort has been very good to me. However, it has 135,000 miles on it and I need something reliable for the winter. So, the wife and I went car shopping this weekend.
The Focus and Fusion just don't compare well with similar Toyota and Honda products. The Focus is a piece of junk and the Fusion, which was supposed to be the Taurus replacement, is only slightly better than the old Escort that I own (but for a whole lot more money). I really would have preferred to buy another Ford, but my hard earned money is going towards the better product.
Our law office had a call from a Ford employee who was going to be losing her job. Her husband works at the same plant and is also losing his job. The plant is one that Ford is closing. They have both worked there for 6 years and earn over $30.00/hour each. Ford is giving each of them $100,000 as a going-away present. I'm sorry, but I have a hard time feeling sympathy for either the company or the employees.
