In typical fashion, Ford can't even go out and blow their horns over this latest award.

What the article does not say is that the 2008 Taurus and Sable are only available to commercial fleets, and that the 500 was supposed to have fully replaced the Taurus even though rental companies love them.

No wonder why The Family even wants out of the controlling interest in Ford. Hey Bill, make a car we want AND can afford and that will not depreciate faster than a falling lug nut. Maybe THEN your relatives will want to remain in The Biz.

But probably only after The Union agrees to reduce the ridiculous pension programs. I cannot wait to see what the venture capital folks will do to another loser in Chrysler.

Either commit to the right product line or get out of the business. Same holds true for goods as it does for services.
