i think ford is gonna get pwnt

that ugly POS is 25k? get outta here..........that thing had better have 220+ HP hidden somewhere.

lol i'm being a smartass no idea how much it would cost
but you can see how it could cost a lot esp if it's got some
high end technology based around nasa designed 1 cylinder sun energy fueled drivetrain that get's 400 mpg and has .5 hp

nah, there's always going to be a minimum HP below which people will actually realize it's a liability on the road. Some of those VW diesels only have 90HP but it's a light car and they got lot's of torque which makes up for it. I'd rather have that available torque to get me out of trouble than have a car that can get to 120+, which I don't need. THose VW diesels will only go to 110-115, but they get there as quick or if not quicker and have better gas mileage.

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

I rented an '08 focus when I went to florida a few months ago. I surprisingly liked it as well.

Lmfao at putting NOS to a focus! I want to see some vids...

ford, by the virtue of NOT having obama as it's CEO, will kick ass in the future by designing and manufacturing autos and trucks that peeps WANT to buy..... NOT cars and trucks designed by washingtonians whose only contact with cars and trucks is limos and taxi cabs.

GM will become amtrack on tires.

With GM and Chrysler both now in bankruptcy, a relatively healthy Ford stands to benefit, even as its two struggling Detroit rivals gain the advantages of powerful government backing.

Ford pulls ahead as GM, Chrysler get 'rinse' - Autos- msnbc.com

i'm not an economist but i know ford has a limited cash reserve.
coupled with slow ass sales (you think they'll get better?) and a supossive flood of discounted chryslers/gms hitting the market, from my view it doesn't look like ford can survive the storm.
why do you think otherwise? imo the americans you post of represent a small percent of the pop.

They will because they are making good vehicles now. A small percentage? How is over half of USA people a small percentage of the pop? Ford has always been primarily a domestic brand. They are putting out some pimp ass vehicles. My mom and pops bought in the last two years, a Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX. There are plenty of us USA pop who buy Ford. Discounted vehicles are fine, but someone like me wouldn't buy a GM/Chrysler product now or in the next 5 years.... (Disclaimer) I bought a yota, which I don't regret all that much, but looking back I would have bought a Ford Escape instead. I was looking budget at the time and didn't realize what financial state I'd be in...

and i feel for the company.
pretty noble not taking taxpayer money when it could
easily get in on the gorging.
but sales are teetering, down almost 25% from last may.
a limited reserve of liquid cash.
i have a feeling when it comes time to either get bailed out
or go bankrupt the general pop. is gonna be so disgusted by
auto-handouts that helping ford out won't be politically platable for obama and co. and ford will be left twisting in the wind.
sad
discuss

I see ford making it. Auto sales rebound before cash runs out. They will still make trucks that while GM will be make volts or whatever small POS that americans don't want. Not to congress - this is not europe - we have parking space and long distance between towns.

Ford is already taking market share from Toyota. They pull through me says.
