You really had me laughing when you were showing the Ford lineup and doing the yawning. I've always totally loved it when you review products. Yes, Ford quite possibly will go bankrupt at some point in the next 10 years. I'd guess that they'll do what
more...
lots of companies do. Restructure their debt, wipe out existing shareholders, and screw their overpaid employees and retirees. At some point way in the future their retirement costs might go down a bit however whether they go bankrupt or not, so that would be a help to them. Of course on the other hand as far as wiping out shareholders Ford is in a little bit of a different position than most companies in that the Ford family I imagine still has a lot of stock and might not like that. Then there's always a government bailout possibility. Oh well. Just idle thoughts and a way too long comment.

In the UK I drove Escort, XR3i, Fiesta, Granada and Orion Ghia - all OK cars for their time. But the ones in the States are CRAP

The fact that they are leaving Aston Martin alone again is the best news I have heard in ages! Couldn't care less if they go broke tomorrow as long as I can still buy a REAL non production like mass market Aston!!!!!

Never been a fan of Ford myself, but if the Blue Oval goes under, I just hope they don't take their subsiduary companies with them - namely my beloved Green Oval company of which they 'rescued' from BMW! Still, we got some cracking engines out of 'em!

Yeah - JAG engines, right? Land Rover will be sold to someone. If not, we will form a consrtium and buy them out - I'll probably be a Range Rover owner by then

Yes, they are not in a good position.... Never was a Ford fan... dunno why, even from the start...
In the poor guys defense i must say... in my experience... in business, you make people like your product... with a strategy... fooling people in believing
more...
they NEED your product... i mean, what do we as humans really NEED to survive?
Mc Donnalds? just an example, who can make better hamburgers than McD? Everyone! but NO ONE has a better Bussiness Plan and Market Strategy!
BUT, Ford is going down... if the boeing-man does not come up with a better strategy!

You have a point, but I think the most successful products actually don't need that much advertising - it goes mouth to mouth

Couldn't agree more here on this veiw. It seems to me that the collective strategy coming out of Ford is to continue to reach backward in time to the fifties, sixties and seventies to play on the American propensity for nostalgia. (Including
more...
materials and quality levels as well...)
Further evidence of the impending demise is the partnership with Foose Design down in SoCal. Foose's mind as a stylist and designer never made past his collection of hot-wheels as a child.

Clearly a losing strategy to be sentimental for a bygone era...
Ford = Morons
Cheers!

Yes - I don't think the "Harley Davidson" strategy will work for them. Didn't know about the Foose partnership. The sad thing is, one of US could probably put forward more ideas to save that company than all of its' management COMBINED
