Default Ford seems to be making up ground as of 6/30/09

Things are clearly still slow ovrall, but this is very encouragng progress, imo. Probably the best news since the economic downturn began -- and 2010 brings high-quality small cars and widespread EcoBoost options. Ford seems best poised to out-trend a recovery when it happens.

FORD has a real opportunity within their grasp to keep the market share that they have been gaining from all of the other automakers including the Japanese. They need to continue making a quality product like they have been for the last 10 years and try to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to new product development; which they seem to be doing with cars such as the new Fusion, Taurus, Edge, Flex and who could forget the new Mustang that Car and Driver rated better than the new Crapero and Charger.

I know I drank the BLUE Kool Aid at birth!!!!!!!!

I think Joe, Tim, Dave and Mike have Shelby cocktails in their blood. They were drinking them like water during Shelbyfest.

Sure they did, they ran out of the drinks by the time I got to that bar. I asked the owner why they sold out and he said that these four ordered them all. They just don't remember much after the first sip.
