first off ford dont own the dealerships, individuals do so how in the hell can ford shut down things they dont own. Second ford has fucked up only producing 10,000 SHELBY COBRAS-this is due to the fact mf want to buy them and store them and bring them back in 20 years and make millions off of them.
for those who dont know but the contract GM and the UAW will be up jan 1, 2007.
Then what?
who supplies this the dealerships with cars
no cars = no dealerships
just look at the devastion of Flint Michigan
if Ford folds, youre going to have 16 Flints around this country
that isnt good
---anyways fords problem isnt the cost of their cars or suv's
its reliability
their Luxury car, the Lincoln doesnt compare to a Lexus(toyota) or Acura(honda).
and the regualr based fords such as the escort, are always in shops
its simply a bad car.
another problem for ford is that they catered to the older elderly crowd
as the Japanese cars look stylish
Ford kept coming out with crap with the exception of the mustang
but the mustang is a coupe
people want stylish family cars(sedans)
man i hope they can recover
