And I'm a big fan of Ford but what the heck??? They make an office furniture builder CEO, and right off the bat he basically plans to scrap cars and have only trucks-SUV's and crossovers. That's not good. If gasoline spikes back up to 4 bucks a gallon they will be eating those vehicles and won't have any thing to sell that people want. Hackett claimed that Ford doesn't put much research money into cars anyway so why not? That is a good sign for people who were thinking of buying a Ford car. What happened to concentrate on QUALITY and the rest will take care of itself? Things have sure changed since Henry Ford was the President.
Jacques Nasser was a complete idiot, almost bankrupted Ford in the 1990's. Concentrated on building junk and buying up fledgling car companies. Only thing that saved them this last time around was Alan Mullally. If it hadn't been for him they would be toast by now.
Ford never seems to learn. Poor management brings you down every time. Hackett is only there for one reason and one reason only, to ramp up stock value at any cost. Ford hovers around 13-15 bucks while GM is 40 plus dollars and Toyota runs about $122 per share. That tells you something.
Ford dumped the Ranger pickup, Crown Vic, and gave their minivan market share to Toyota-Honda-Chrsyler I see tons of them running around. Stupid. Pure stupid.
Ford will be the next 'orphan' car behind Pontiac-Oldsmobile-Studebaker-AMC-Packard and on and on.
It was a fun ride but I see the end of the road coming.
