MY CONCERN: Will ford even be ALLOWED to compete??

When GM’s gub’ment mandated Volga’s and Yugo’s don’t sell, will Ford be REQUIRED by Obama to go out of Business, to save the Government-run Company???

Ford has over 50% of their business offshore. So they may just make it. But the Ford pickup is one of the most prolific cars around, they will likely last as long as cockroaches.

So they may just leave the USA. Ford's most modern new plant is in Brazil.

Yes, this is my concern also. The problem is, with these politicians, they are NEVER wrong, never enacted stupid and self-defeating policies, and nothing is ever THEIR fault.

So, if they essentially force GM to make cars that nobody wants, thus causing a sales disaster, who knows how far they will go to save face.

I’ve never been a Ford man, but I now hope they kick butt, and keep cranking out F150s, Expeditions, and the like.

I've been thinking the same thing for some time now.<

This is all about forcing us to drive what the gubmint see fit for us to drive.

When they start going after third party part manufactures for legacy cars, we'll know we're in deep do do
