i agree when it comes to the average person on the street, but CEOs are paid to read the signs of the economy, and act to stave off things line bankruptcy if possible.

while i am a ford enthusiast, i disagree that if one were to buy a gm or chrysler product that they are anti capitalism or anti american. what about people who buy foreign nameplates? are they anti capitalist or anti american also?

Typical anti-government crap via Ford on them not taking any "bail-out money"!

An ignorant Ford dealership employee couldn't even tell me if the Focus 2.0 engine comes with an interference or non-interference motor. Talk about not knowing your products.

I have to give it to Ford though, they've come a long ways from the dark days of early to mid ninties.

Btw---GM and Chrysler workers are getting bonuses too! That should burn your scalps straight off your anti-labor heads! Oh no, the U.S. Taxpayers are going to blow a gasket!
