Glad they pulled out of F1 ;D
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Yeah, that may hurt their "most reliable" statement, but I'm impressed by the way they are handling it. Stopping production and the sale of vehicles that may be affected is a bold move.

They are required by law to stop selling cars that are under recall.

Hmmm, maybe it's just that no one else announces that they are not selling the models affected...

2 billion profit for Ford just announce when wall street was expecting a loss.  I have always been a Chevy guy, but it is getting harder to not like Ford when they can stand on their own and come out with some very innovative and competitive cars.

i think the latter has a lot to do with the former... at least one of the big three appears to be "getting it" with regards to their offerings.

I gotta agree, I spent the last month rolling around in a 2010 Ford Fusion. I must say I was impressed with everything about the car. I logged about 6k miles, good mileage, little road noise, and best yet it was kinda fun to drive for what it is. [thumbsup]
