i think ford is gonna get pwnt

30k? try 18-24k. Those are the cars that toyota and honda are cleaning up the americans with. The lease rates on those cars are so pimp. And the demand is only going to rise. Maybe where you're at people still don't mind stopping off at the pump every second day........but in the rest of the country people are seriously worried about fuel costs. We're experiencing a reprieve right now, but it's climbing again.

so you're talking about the corrolla/camry, that size car?
then agreed.
but if you're talking about the subcompact demand, then i say there is little demand...

when i said the either day, about the cars that GM was gonna make that nobody wanted, that's what i was talking about.
in my opinion the gov is gonna push that on GM, GM is gonna make these little cars that nobody wants, and fail.
there was a pic on drudge the other day of this new GM sorta car

increased fuel economy standards, and imminent GHG emissions standards def. won't be helping ford either lol

the standards are also why you're gonna see a lot more smaller cars that nobody wants

this is what we'll all be driving for 25k base model

the camry is not in the corolla's class, it's definitely a step above. The american comapnies need to make cars that compete in that class........cars that can be had for real good lease rates or can be bought 5-6 years old for 10-12k. Toyota's and Honda's have historically been able to run FOREVER as long as you keep up the oil changes. My buddy who's down in Cinci right now has had his accord for like 10 years, and he bought it with 50-60k on it. He's had some limited work done to it........the thing is a warhorse. That's how cars ought to be made.

a unscrupulous management could build a fleet of go-karts as a smoke screen with not much money invested, in hopes that the high margin returns with trucks and suvs picks back up when the economy improves

I have a 08 focus witch I never thought I would buy and go figure, I love it.... the funny thing is that I put the NOS to it before it even hit 3000 miles LOL... its kind of funny seeing a focus flying down the street....... I like it
