RE: Word on the Street is..
the reason there shutting down is cuz a bunch of dealers nation wide are getting audited for lying about how many hours are flagged... 3 ford dealers shut down here where i live and we got audited but to strong to be shut down

no this is actually from ford. the jeep lincoln mercury dealership that he works at is shuttin down. they didn't under or anything, it is a small place and jeep wants them to upgrade. they sold that division to a chrylser dealer in town and he is moving everyone that works ther over to his giant ford dealership in jefferson city. merc goin down the tube was a big factor in their decision.

uhh.. not really. GMC's come with interiors that you can't get with chevy's, and they're frames are actually(unadvertised) stronger

Mercury would be the easiest to kill off since they dont have any of their own vehicles.
Lincoln seems to be staying around and theyre actually coming out with new models.
Ford can profit from cutting out a division like GM did with Oldsmobile but not like Chrysler did with Plymouth. All the Olds cars were done and gone but all the Plymouth cars just got rebadged as Chryslers. Really GM shouldve gotten rid of GMC because theyre just rebadged Chevy's anyway.

the caliber is fugly! and the f150 is king they sell what is it 107 f150 an hours 24hrs a day 365 days a year its the best selling vehuicle in the whole world and its only sold in north america.
the average millionaire drives a f150 they do it rom an investment stand point for one reason because the
f-series truck holds its value the best

true but most of the people on cribs are trying to be flashy and lots of them dont have money! esp rappers etc they are just trying to front and stunt[8D] granted they have a big house but for most of them it will not last long
