Ford Motor Co. reported a 43% rise in February U.S. light-vehicle sales, enough to nose the company past arch-rival General Motors Co. for the first time in years.

“Ford Outsold GM in U.S. Last Month”
How long before the Ford CEO is hauled before congress to get grilled for outselling socialist government motors?
which means Ford has to be up next for an Obozo neuterizing.
I already knew that, but you see, after they are done with the non union guys , Ford will have to be chastised as being the next in line to go. After all, they though they didn’t need Obozo.
We all have to be forced to buy gubmint motors.
Yup. I am looking at buying a pickup truck and my only option is a F-150. Won’t buy Japanese because I promised my grandfather (made an exception with a Camry that was mostly built in US) and I will not fund US Socialism.
Yeah I know what you mean but I think this admin is pushing for thugocracy like never before, & the zeal we have seen against toyota just reflects that
Don't worry, you'll luv your gun metal gray rattletrap as you trail bolts and smoke behind you down the road....to the place where you'll have to call the tow truck
Yep, GM will no longer have to build a great car, they will get a pass fo making a POS!
Correct. Ya dont compete with Gubmint Motors or it’s the gulag..
You will call gubmint run tow truck services and wait 2 weeks for service.
Geesh, one of the reasons gubmint run anything sucks.
I guess people are going to have to be treated like babies to realize this.
Oh well, learn too little too late morons.
They have started to really improve their car offerings again. I won’t ever go back to cars, but I like their stylings more than GM or Chrysler. Just saw the new Ford Taurus the other day in person and I thought it’s a really good looking sedan. Even the less expensive cars look pretty good, and with some that have been around but restyled a bit they’ll hopefully have good reliability.
“Yup. I am looking at buying a pickup truck and my only option is a F-150. “
I’m with ya there. Ford makes the best truck, period. If I ever get a job again I’ll be buying a new F-150. I’ve been driving Chevys for 20 years but no more. The interiors suck and Obama put a bad taste in my mouth with his takeover.
The Government Motors taxpayer funded “money back guarantee” and concurrent advertising blitz did nothing to fake out the American people. You don't have to be competitive when you are the government, and why drive a government POS when you have other options. At least we still have other options.
Nissan Trucks are built in Smyrna TN.
43%?? Looks as if the people are speaking with their wallets against Government Motors. Too bad DC isn’t listening, just like the health care bill. November is going to be interesting.
