Lets not allow truth to enter our minds.......Ford saved itself because before the econemy collapsed Ford was in trouble and wile the getting was good dumped a lot of the none profitable branches.

Yea we all know that Ford is evil.........but then explain to me........a former pro mech.......why??????? I don't want BS I want provable facts. I'm almost 57 years old and only know of one person who has had trouble with Fords warrenties.....and that was because he trusted his dealer who was screwing him.

I love my Fords but Ford has nothing to compare to our Chevy Suburban. And Ford makes nothing in front wheel drive that I would buy.

Another fact that may have passed some of you is that a few yers ago 67% of the cost of a new vehicle from the "big 3" was labor both past and present. Some folks were claiming that it was only 37% but that was only current workers, not retirees. The big 3 signed those contracts with the retirement bennies when the average worker retired at 65 and dies at 69.

Another fact that may be slipping by is that GM, Ford and Fiat....err Chrysler are all looking at making cars in China.......for export to other countries, not the US or Canada.

Want to see some truth.....go look up Ford/GM HP and Torque claims for thier diesels......look up the power curve......then try to find that info for the Dodge Cummins diesel. Don't just look at what they claim......both Ford and GM will tell you at what RPM's the max HP and torqure is reached.........now try finding that from Fiat.....errrr Chyrsler where they reach those points......I have not checked in about 3 years but then max advertised HP and Torque was reached at over governed engine RPM's.

I can sit here and nit pick all night design short comings from the big 3.....none of them are prefect.
