Oct 2, 2009 - Looking Ford Tough?

September sales figures for the auto manufacturers were not anything to write home about. The letdown after the "government crack" that was the Cash For Clunkers program has turned into withdrawal symptoms. (Gee, who saw that coming?)

U.S. sales fell 23%, and looking at the three componenets of the AR Index, GM was down 45%, Toyota down 13%, and Ford down just 5.1%

Think it's a coincidence that the only company of the three that was "saved" by the government is the only one that underperformed the industry as a whole, and not just by a fraction, but virtually doubling the decrease?

Ford is starting to look a lot like the little engine that could.

I think Ford has proved itself when it had the insight to prepare for this economic downfall. They have a decent line up of cars and I really hope they make it and this coming from some one that was never a fan of Ford.
