Better than Government Motors?
I’m switching to Ford for my next vehicle because they did not take the bailout! Was thinking of Dodge because I like the Cummings diesel. PowerStroke will do me fine.
‘consumers bought more Ford products than they did GM or Chrysler to show their appreciation for doing business the right way’
Pretty much says it all doesn’t it?
The new Mustang looks really cool.
As soon as Ford is out of the woods, unions and Obama will make them unprofitable again.
Also, what about their staggering healthcare and pension liabilities? Did the government pick them up?
Don’t be fooled. This is only temporary.
Remember, America’s Pol Pot is still President.
The F350 took me to CA and back to NH with no problems at all.
The PowerStroke worked fine, and the only place I had problems finding diesel was IL, where they wanted to sell me the bio crap which the manual says isn’t acceptable.
If you drive trucks, the Fords are fine, this being my third.
When you open up the hinged gas cap cover on my ‘08 F150, a sticker says, “Ford recommends BP”. Ford has been a really eco friendly company, and BP also means “Beyond Petroleum”
Does Ford have a car that competes with the Chevy VOLT?
Just curious if their into “green” cars and how much they’re spending on it.
Maybe the ford fusion.
“Consumers rewarded Ford by not taking government money”
I’m proud to say our family helped out by buying two Ford SUV’s.
Now if they can just get a console delete option for their larger cars I would buy one. I only fit in the F-150 and of all things the Mustang. The salesmen indicate that many people complain about the same thing. Ford listen to potential customers.
We’re running the ‘08 350 and a ‘10 Explorer.
More or less states our view of things.
At least one fact is wrong in this article. Ford stock did not drop below $1. Hit about $1.50 at it’s lowest.
Doing a lot of things correctly, BTW, but I too fear that the unions will try to hold them hostage. Smartly, Ford’s move to a world platform allows them to more easily shift production to plants in other countries and still supply the U.S., so they have a bit of leverage vs. the unions.
