I never said they are a failure, or that they haven't produced quality cars.

I said they are a failing company. They continually lose money, and continually fail to meet profit projections.

Ford F-Series - Best selling vehicle on the planet for 23 years, best selling full size pick up for 31 years
Ford Ranger - Best selling compact pick up
Ford Explorer - Best selling SUV period, best selling midsize SUV, since it's inception
Ford Expedition - Best selling full size SUV
Ford Escape - Was the best selling compact SUV, but I believe it's now second to the Jeep Liberty
Ford Econoline - Best selling full size van for 28 years.

And the million dollar question, why were Ford trucks used in the construction of the Toyota plant in San Antonio? Oh that's right Toyota doesn't make a real truck.

There's only two things I fault Ford on, the discontinuation of the Excursion, the Expedition EL doesn't count. Ford should absolutely have an SUV based off the Super Duty platform along with a Lincoln twin cousin and they should have never came out with the Blackwood, and you think they would have learned from their mistakes, but then came the Mark LT.

Well this off topic so I won't get too deep into it, but if you truly believe that, then your ignorance truly knows no bounds.

BTW, what's Toyota and some of the other Japanese automaker's excuse?

Consider the depth of their losses though. Toyota may have pulled a loss for one year, GM and Ford and Chrysler have been doing it for years, and with a larger amount per year as well.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-more-can-you-ask-for-22124705 Wed, 25 Mar 2009 07:00:29 EDT Re: What more can you ask for.. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-more-can-you-ask-for-22124699 said by rcdailey:

I like Fiat. I'd probably support that type of purchase.
you do realize that Fiat is failing? (and took money from Italian government and is owned by chrysler which took money from Our gov and is still failing after being double bailed out) right?

And Ford = Fun On Race Day (get it right already)
Fiat = Fix It Again Tony

If there were a merger of Ford and Fiat it would be Ford buying Fiat (or buying the top of the fiat empire Benz)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-more-can-you-ask-for-22123987 Wed, 25 Mar 2009 00:25:54 EDT Re: What more can you ask for.. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-more-can-you-ask-for-22123496 said by jjsk8r85:

if ford has beenfailing why didn't they take the money? :huh:
They posted a $14.7 billion dollar loss in 2008. If you don't consider that failing, I don't know what is then.

They have lost money every year, for years.

You do know that ford is the only 1 that did not take money from the government, right?

And they had this in the works since last year.
Yes, I knew that. But I never made any mention of the government money.
