I own two Fords and would buy another.
Ford was smart to reject the $ dangled before it as bait. There just might be a Ford Motor Company in 20 years. GM and Chrysler will be trivia answers along with Studebaker and British Leyland.

Good for them. I will reward them by purchasing a 2010 Shelby Cobra GT500 Coupe.

If GM and Chrysler go into bankruptcy, Ford may be at a disadvantage unless they can get the same reductions in costs from the UAW, retirements, etc.
To: Eric in the Ozarks
To an extent, they already have.

Meh, who hasn't. Still, worthwhile to give them a second chance - at least a test drive.
I wish they had a car that interested me.

The real concern is the fact that Government Motors won’t accept competition from Ford while they have the power to regulate Ford into submission.

Of course the question is, how will Ford compete against the federal government? The “owners” of GM will be making all the rules under which Ford will be required to operate. Won’t THAT be fun!

Fiesta, Transit-Connect (these are Euro Transplants) and new Taurus on the way.
Ditto new Hybrid Fusion/Milan
According to the Car Mags and Detroit Newspapers 4 more Euro-Cars after that...
Google them: Kouga, C-Max, Mondeo, and S-Max

Ford should be congratulated that they refused any bailout money from the government. Ford has a much better chance than either GM or Chrysler of surviving and being able to compete in this global economy. Ford may have to take some hard steps to get to that point but they seem to be in a better position than the other two to get the job done. Ford should first think of their company and its survival and take whatever necessary steps accordingly. Everything else should come second.
To: frogjerk
Ford has a better idea. Screw 0bama.

Lower debt is always a good idea, always.
