You would think their sales would be at -30% by now.

From what i have read, ford is just falling in every catagory. Why is this happening? Why are people not buying fords? I see alot of ford trucks but have not seen many cars from ford on the road?

I kind of wish ford and chevy were private companies so they could turn their focus back to making cars we want instead of trying to keep shareholders happy by making high commodity pieces of shit with engines.

I don't understand this statement. Since when has Ford and GM made shareholders happy? If they were private companies they would have done mass layoffs, closed plants, dumped unions, and downsized drastically. Just my opinion of course.

People don't buy fords because of 2 reasons.

They are definatly not leading the pack, and are far from front runners when it comes to innovation. The fusion was a joke, and the 500 is far from being on par with mercedees like Ford says....It's about on par with a toothpick.

People still think "shitty reliability" when they hear ford. I had 2 people already this week at the dealership tell me they weren't interested in ANY ford that we had.

Wait a minute here. I thought GM was going under and ford was doing great??? Who woulda thunk?

We had a titan in the shop at work today. The owner was a complete fag/asshat/moron/arrogant pile of shit/queer.

all auto companies are struggling right now

Nissan, Honda, or Toyota can not and will not struggle. Ever. Ever.

Well no shit, I just want to hear from the ones last summer saying ford is in great standing and GM is going under. And where oh where are the others that keep saying the economy is in good standing?

It's all about what products you make and how they are marketed, if all you make are trucks and suvs when fuel costs rise you fuck yourself.

Ford sucks.

Prices for what you get, or, rather, don't get, are not on par.

Quality sucks.

Styling is fugly.

Reliability sucks. You can buy an import for same or less that will last longer and is built better..
