Ford lost 12.7 BILLION dollars in 2006... how will that affect me buying a Tacoma?

[AAP]

Toyota gonna charge more now or what? Should their prices drop to meet the drop in Ford's price?

Ford is in big trouble, they should have made thier pension plan solvent way back when GM did.

Umm... ok. But what about my upcoming purchase?

Not sure, I know Toyota is making a power play to sell more vehicles than GM, so thier prices may well be coming way down.

Who said Ford is going to drop prices? Just because they lost money doesn't mean they are dropping prices...

do you want to know why ford and every other american car company is hurting? it is because of the unions.

these car companies are hemorrhaging money, because they have to pay pensions for every motherfucker that has ever worked and retired from those places.

the unions are costing them billions.

Ford whines like this every so often. Ford still has more money in reserves than any other US company. They like to whine as a power play against the union. I don't know how it will affect the price of a Tacoma, except that if you marry me I could get you a big discount on the A plan, because my dad retired from there.
