Ford chose capitalism and clobbered socialist Government Motors and Obama.

Ford is selling trendy hybrids too, but not an all-electric unit.

The government will escalate attacks and sabotage of Ford.

I won’t buy GM or Chrysler. That leaves Ford. I would love to buy a luxury car in the Lexus/BMW class but Ford doesn’t make one. That sucks.

I think there is an unannounced boycott of Obama Motors.

My kid works for FORD as a factory certified tech, he’s been busy for months. Lot’s of cars being serviced and new ones being prepped for delivery.

I’m considering buying a FORD for the first time since 1977. My last FORD was a Pinto...enough said. :)

It wouldn’t surprise me that Obama and thugs will do everything they can to mess with Ford. The UAW has already told Ford they want everything they gave up to Ford back.

That’s actually amazing, given the huge subsidies in fleet sales GM is getting from the feds and from the stimulus funds to state governments.

Aw, get yourself a “country Cadillac” (pickup truck). Some of those are decked out pretty fancy.

I agree. There's an awful lot of ticked off people because their taxpayer money bailed GM out and it looks like they may go under again.

Have you checked out the Lincoln MKX? Would give my left testicle to have one of those but out of my price range.
I look to buy the new Focus maybe next year.

LOL. I’ve got a ‘91 F-150 and it will be with me until it dies. Or me. Whoever comes first. But that’s my truck and my wife won’t set foot in it.
