Believe me, I wish it weren't true and that GM knows what they are doing. It is obvious to me that they don't have a clue. Changing the cars name , cheaping out on the design and suspension, leads me to believe that they screwed up. Again.

I can't believe what I'm hearing! Ford has better products in the PIPELINE THAN GM???? If that's the case then where is it? I haven't seen anything yet besides the new upcoming Ford F-150 and the ugly shoe box on wheels which is the Flex and a few others that aren't even selling that well for Ford. You call that a company that knows how to manage themselves properly? Allow me to answer that for you... Absolutely not! Last time I checked GM is the only North American automaker that even though their sales for the month of September dropped by about 16% was the only automaker who did well in the previous month even when compared to the import competition (Toyota and Honda). Ford posted a monthly sales loss of like about 35%. Would you call that good management? Motor Trend stated on their forum that GM sales were surprisingly good for the month of Sept, and although all automakers are facing a downturn with the condition the economy is in, you have to agree that GM did well last month. Anyway, getting back to Ford... We haven't seen not 1 HOT PRODUCT FROM FORD BESIDES THE LINCOLN MKX AND MKS AND EVEN THAT'S STARTING TO BECOME MEANINGLESS. GM on the other hand has a whole arsenal of cars that are on the road and selling very well and there's only more to come so as I was saying before, Ford is not doing better than GM. All the proof is out there and you are obviously free to take a look at them whenever you like.
