Default Re: Hello

Ford has to get the rest of their vehicle lineup to be profitable before anything else changes. To say that they're "in a hole" would be a compliment; the reality is that they're more like the Titanic, slowly slipping beneath the waves. I hope I'm wrong on this, and hopefully some time VERY soon, someone in that company will step up and steer it into an exciting new direction, with engineering prowess and design quality being the primary goals. Only then will we see more cutting-edge designs like we used to.

I've said for a long time now that Ford should just stop making cars altogether, and make only Mustangs and F-series trucks. Possibly, they could still make cars under the Mercury and Lincoln names, subsidizing production and dedicating those lines as semi-independent. Kind of like the Saturn and GM relationship.
