Ford reports biggest loss in company history (#)

„Mercury needs to be reinvented: keeping it as a more expensive clone of exactly the same machines as Ford isn't going to cut it, and it hasn't for quite some time. There are relevant euro-vehicles Ford can put under that name plate while they work to fix the Ford brand in the states. GM's doing this with Saturn and it's working. I've suggested Ford try this tack before, and I can only hope they do it one way or the other.“

Look for the Edge in dealerships next fall, in front- and all-wheel-drive configurations.“

BOLD MOVES AD CAMPAIGN. - Automobilemag.com Ford Forum (#)

„Yeah I agree Hammatime, the Bold Moves? campaign is not very flattering for Ford, and I would argue that it would not be flattering for any other automobile company.  Moreover, at times I feel kind of embarrassed for Ford when I watch some of the overly presumptuous and tacky commercials advertising Ford vehicles.  I don™t mean the latter statement to be a mean-spirited one, but that™s just how I feel.“

Ford Slashes 4Q Production by 21%; Trucks Bear the Brunt (#)

„I assume this is just a tuning issue as it appears to be the same engine. (Admittedly, I don't know much about Ford.) Hopefully, Ford and all the other manufacturers can get back to tuning for mpg rather than power, in addition to selling smaller and lighter vehicles. A Civic today weighs more than a midsize from the 80s.“
