We love our 2005 Acura TL. It runs great, and in five years when we want to trade it in the resale will be at least 20% higher than comparable Sedans in its class from Chistler, Furd, or BM.
but that 20% will go towards paying down the bailout so,
SEE EVERYONE WINS!!! :angry: :yuck: :yuck: :yuck: :yuck: :angry: :angry: :angry: :yuck: :yuck:

This is precisely the reason why the Big 3 are failing miserably--their products aren't nearly as high-quality as a comparable Japanese car, yet it's obvious that nobody in the government nor the people heading these companies is willing to admit or talk about it.
I've been saying forever now, FORD is in a strong position, has quality on par with any other brand, and the only problem is the perception of dumbass lazy muricans like all of you. Buy as much Ford stock as you can afford. And to top it all off, Ford doesn't even want the governments money.

I'm a big supporter of japanese and korean vehicles, but claiming their quality is better is opcat retarded. Don't get your hopes up, Ford will be around long after you losers die.
America, frack Yeah!

Ford is doing okay with the Fusion, which is actually a Mazda.
I don't really like most of the Saturn lineup, but it would be disastrous for GM to cut it. That's where most of their innovation has been coming from and it has good brand recognition among younger buyers.
I have a Mazda (made in Hiroshima, most of the cross-badged Fords are made in Mexico) and a Subaru made in Indiana. Both are extremely high-quality vehicles that should have a working life in excess of 20 years if properly maintained. It's no wonder GM and Ford invested so heavily in these companies.
you are bit off in your mazda claim. Ford just got them some money when they needed it. Now mazda has been keeping for going and has been a little black line on Fords P/L at the end of the year. Ford has even thought about selling them because of their profitability. :suicideispainless:
I dont think Ford is that far off from being not junk stock. When Ford was running the company a few years ago he actually wanted to get green high mpg cars into the fleet. He also pushed for more quality.
Foreign makes and models have better resale value...
fact
That is directly related to quality.

It's also directly related to perception. It's been proven repeatedly Ford is on par with all of its peers in regards to initial quality, it's futile to argue otherwise.
Currently, analysts estimate the union workers at U.S. automakers make about $3 to $4 per hour more than the non-union U.S. employees of foreign automakers like Toyota and Honda, according to the Center for Automotive Research.

The system is fracked up. I'm all for buying American....but if it isn't worth my dollar...where is the competition?
