Yes, Riptide..........Ford will be bankrupt like GM and Chrysler in a few months. There.........happy now? Go take a walk in the park or take in a movie or something, jeez. I understand playing the counterpoint here, but all the OP did was post a bit of positive news for Ford (and mind you, positive news for ANY major corp right now is fairly scarce with the economy in the tank). Nothing wrong with keeping a positive outlook on things. In fact, a positive outlook is the only thing that will turn the economy around. It's the panic-mongers who took a bad situation and made it worse.

As for Ford, yea........they are still losing money. But where they differ from Chrysler and GM is the public stigma that surrounds their product and current situation. Whether you attribute it to good timing, smart planning, dumb luck, or whatever.....Ford is better positioned to take a swing at the remaining negative aura around them as an "inferior American product", opening their product to a whole new market. And GM and Chrysler tanking is gonna push alot of non loyal prospective domestic buyers to look at a Ford first....which is why there is reason to hope Ford might start on a comeback. Could it all still go south? Absolutely. But the ppl doom-saying the last privately owned Detroit automaker don't seem to be grasping the difference the numbers and the public overview.
