I just saw where Ford lost 12.7 billion dollars last year. Biggest 1 year loss in their history.
Another reason to BUY MORE CHEVYS!

While there are some great Fords out there, they do seem to have a lot of recent issues.Karl said:I will be buying a Chev or Toyota PU in a few months to alleviate my fears... (he says putting on a pair of stylish asbestos panties)
A very true statement. Ford is not doing right by their products, thats for sure.Karl said:RANT WARNING!!!
Ford has no honor, for either the products/problems they turn out or the people who buy them and are masters of the 'non-disclosure' lawsuit settlement among peers.

I did own a Bronco II once. Tipsy little bugger. Got it stuck in the snow a few times (my fault, having fun). It was fun.Lpgeoteacher said:OH, SNAP!
Gotta love dem bugs! They are GREAT on the MPG scale. But I also own a Ford F-150 Supercrew 4X4 with the 5.4 L V8 and a class III tow package. Please don't ask me about MPG. The thing is if I can afford the truck and the gas then its OK with me. The Truck has never given me a problem in the 5+ years I've owned it. It is still a solid great running truck and it is the vehicle that the family gets in to go to Alabama or Missouri. It has also been to the East coast. Not bad for an Indiana truck. :thumbsup:

As the consumer do we have to pay attention to what we are buying or does the automibile maker need to pay attention to what they are making? Please take this as the philosophical question that it was intended.glhshelby said:their current fusion is a very well built car however a lot of people have the illusion that toyota`s are better and that they always get better gas mileage.
People need to really start paying attention to what they`re really buying before we kill our own economy.

Oh yea and Chevys are better cars :hat: Gotta tell ya I have had Fords all my life, since 1959, almost exclusively and I do not have a reason to change. My 03 Sable is going strong at 122,000 miles with very little to report on other than normal maintenance. :thumbsup: Remember where all those dollars you spend on the ricers ends up no matter where they are assembled. The US automakers deserved their plight but now they are making cars as good as anyone for the dollars spent.jasydad said:I just saw where Ford lost 12.7 billion dollars last year.

And just think, they expect "hopefully" be in the green by 2009. Which means another year in the red. Imagine that press release telling your investors that your money will probably not see profit for another two years... :freak:1976Cordoba said:$12,700,000,000
I don't get why everyone fights about Ford vs. Chevy and so on with various automakers. Each company has both good and bad, and I do not have any particular brand preference. If it looks good and I like it, I will buy it regardless of the manufacturer.Galaxieman said:Oh yea and Chevys are better cars :hat: Gotta tell ya I have had Fords all my life, since 1959, almost exclusively and I do not have a reason to change.

Every good Ford lover should hate Chevy and vice versa. Just like every Red Sox fan should hate the Yankees, and every hunter hate Peta.FastC6Vette said:I don't get why everyone fights about Ford vs. Chevy
I was just meaning that people need to realize that foreign cars are no better. Just like people I work with,just because they bought a 1981 lebaron used in 85 and had tons of problems with it they won`t buy anything american now.Even 20 years later when most companies have tons of better quality and reliability.He purchased a 2006 camry and has only had problems with it since he purchased it.If he would have bought American he possibly could have had the same problems but he could have better styling and an american car to boot.Lpgeoteacher said:As the consumer do we have to pay attention to what we are buying or does the automibile maker need to pay attention to what they are making?

I was not aware that Ford Motor Company risked its very financial future on such a political stanceprayingmantis said:There is one area that has been overlooked here. Ford has recently agressively funded/backed the homosexual agenda and they have been severely boycotted.
They back trying to appove homosexual marriage laws, etc.
There is more to it here than quality issues.
