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.

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!

Lower debt is always a good idea, always.

I love my Dodge Ram, but should I be fortunate enough to afford a new car in the next few years, Ford has moved ahead of my beloved Mopars. The Fusion looks interesting and I’ve heard a lot of good things about it. I still like Hondas and Toyotas better, but they’ve gotten so brutally expensive.

Mrs. jimfree had been craving a Saturn Sky for several years. The Obama admin tampering has turned us off of GM after three previous Saturns. We are looking at the Mustang converible now.

I have a 1999 F150 4x4, 1998 Ford Explorer and 2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid. There is also a 1994 Saturn SL2 and 1974 Porsche 914 here. The Mariner is the primary transport here. It's also the only vehicle for which I don't have the title free and clear. I would be happy to find a buyer for the 914. I don't drive it. It is occupying garage space that I would like for some more motorcycles.

For some reason, I think maybe, just maybe them Ford executives get down on their knees every night and thank the Lord they did not take any of the “bailout” money.
Even liquidation would be better than turning every thing to the government.

If I was Ford (or hell, Honda & Toyota for that matter), I would sue GM and/or the federal government for giving its competitors a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Ford doesn’t have the luxury of federal subsidies, or the federal government “standing behind its warranties”, etc. I would be furious if I were Ford. After all, they are being punished for doing the right thing.
To: frogjerk
Ford is the only independent US automaker, the other are now government subsidiaries. I would be proud to own a Ford.

If you would like to be added or dropped from the Michigan ping list, please freepmail me.
I know they're not quite there yet, but Ford reminds me more and more of Secretariat in the Belmont, when he was just starting to pull away from the pack...
Zero will find a way to punish Ford, don't you worry. Success must be punished.
