Flippin' Ford...Get it Together
It's a damn embarrassment that the American auto powerhouse Ford is now in this situation:
On the other extreme, Ford Motor (Charts, Fortune 500) saw sales plummet more than 20 percent in September, as the embattled U.S. automaker continues to lose market share.The company saw sales of light trucks, fall 9 percent, while the sale of car models plunged 38.9 percent. The decline was widespread across its brand, with only Lincoln and Land Rover posting a sales gain.
Is anyone surprised? All you have to do is take a spin around the model line up here to see why Ford is f-ed.

I think the government should shut FORD down. They are a disgrace to American enterprise and the government shouldn't put up with it. OR, they should NATIONALIZE FORD so it can be run properly by the bureaucrats.

Ha ha ha...I love the thought of a Nationalized Ford. The cars would have 50 seats, zero doors, be shaped like a brick and cost $7 million a piece. :)
Maybe the government should stick to producing Scooters.
