Shares of Ford Motor Co. hit their highest price in more than four years as the broader market rose Tuesday. Shares of the Dearborn, Mich.-based automaker traded as high as $9.88 in Tuesday's session, their highest price since October 2005. Shares recently traded up 18 cents at $9.85. Ford shares have nearly quadrupled in value in the year to date as the company rolled out new products like the Ford Fusion midsize sedan, cut costs and managed to avoid government aid and bankruptcy protection unlike its crosstown rivals General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group LLC.

I don’t think you’ll be sorry you did it...

"I just bought a new Edge..."

I bought my Edge in 2007, first year for the model. What a great car so far. SEL with the big-ass moon roof, AWD, GPS nav and all the trinkets. It tracks like a freight train in bad weather.

The new 265 hp Duratec engines are very smooth and powerful, mo' bettah than the last generation of Duratecs. Coupled with a 6 speed tranny you get nice, smooth takeoffs and landings. Variable valve timing really helps.

Ford has been producing some very good cars. I hope they do well.

Yep...real nice...I’m looking forward to the Taurus...trunk big enough for a foursome and all the goodies...and you are right, that Edge moon roof is a big sucker, isn’t it?

Yep. It lets in a lot of light. Ford did a good job on the engineering.
