After what has happened I can't imagine any right thinking person taking money from the government. Judging from the description of the cars GM's Chairman (Obama) wants to sell, I s'pect I'll be switching to Ford. I've been driving GM's since about 1975.
I will now try my best to purchase a Ford the next time I need a vehicle. I just hope they make something better than the Focus for the car I want to buy for my daughter next year.
I wish Ford well too. They have benefitted greatly from the vision and moves made by their new CEO before the credit crisis housing ponzi scheme collapse. They got leaner and meaner.
This included selling Aston Martin, Jaguar, and Range Rover off so they could take that money and reinvest it back into R&D for their domestic business and build up their cash reserves. Sales at all three of those companies have fallen off a cliff in the past year. Bravo Ford.
New ad slogan for Ford:
“Ford, an American Company giving the finger to socialism.”
Good for Ford. I haven’t figured out yet why Chrysler’s advertising budget was slashed in half by the O-Sh!t administration and their dealers are closing down. Seems like they would need all the exposure they can get??
Always been a Ford individual:
85’ Mustang GT
98’ Mustang Cobra
04’ Mustang Cobra
Hey folks, in all the euphoria about Ford being the only All-American car company we have left, keep in mind that they were kow-towing to the gays just a year or so back ...
Before you say that remember that Ford funds a lot of left-wing radical causes.
While GM is forced into making windmill cars, Ford will continue to make real cars.
Time to buy more FoMoCo Stock(I already have 150 shares)!

Somehow - Ford will pay - Ford MUST pay.
And the fascinating thing is...Ford workers are UAW - yes?
And now UAW runs GM - but they’re supposed to “represent” the Ford workers, and it’s a total conflict of interest cluster**** - and it’s completely owned by the libs.
Trucks are barely OK, vans are terrible too.
I was a GM fan for years but switched to Ford back in 96 and have been loyal ever since. Proud owner of an 2008 F-250 and got an excellent deal from Ford.
I’m thinking about using a Prius as the battery for the winch on the front.
What.....too early in the morning?
I am rooting for Ford like never before. I am proud to drive a Ford car whose engine was made in my hometown. My friends who (when we were young) proclaimed Ford stood for “Fix Or Repair Daily” and such, can keep their Chevy’s.
Is the 43 mpg an aggregate total of all production or all sales? Seems like Ford could produce a cheap piece of crap that gets 50-60mpg sell it at cost to offset it’s lower mpg better selling pickups/SUV’s.
Good for them. I will seriously look at a Ford as my next car.
Whoo-Hoo!!!
