Thanks for not taking TARP money.

Thanks for the quality improvements.

Thanks for the new Taurus: the tallest, best looking, best quality full-sized car for the money.

Thanks for a stock performance that has gone from a low of $1.50 to $8.81.

Thanks for the new Fusion, Motor Trend's car of the year.

Thanks for the turbocharged, direct injected EcoBoost engines.

I passed a local sign shop last week and saw 3 white TCs waiting to be lettered. I couldn't see what was going on them. We have a few around here already on the job with a local florist. I have been impressed by the few I have seen on the street. I think once the word gets around that the TC will be a big hit.

My dealer actually has quite a few sitting out front as well. I think you/we have to give it time, though. It's a brand new vehicle (to the US) that potential buyers are just starting to hear about, so I think it'll begin to catch on soon enough once companies see them driving around with other companies' logos on them and stuff.

Correct, not selling well around here at all. Many sitting on the lot.

To be fair many companies are still laying workers off and trying to survive, buying new vehicles is not even being considered at this time. Actually there are rows of used company trucks at several car lots around town.

I have to agree. This year I bought a new TC for the company and a new SHO for myself. Ford is doing a great job in this harsh climate. Thanks to all the workers at Ford and the dealerships as well!

New Fiesta sales gone over 500,000 mark already this year, up 61% in October.

KA sales have doubled this year.

Happy Thanksgiving. God bless America.

Thank you Ford for my 2007 Fusion - the BEST car I've ever owned bar none.

THANX to the 7 Series BMW owner who parked next to me at the Bagel shop this AM and commented "nice BMW" without realizing I'm driving a new Tuxedo Black Mercury Milan Premium. He looked shocked when he looked at the grill. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! Brian

Thank you for sharing that - it made me smile.

Our neighbor down the street who has owned only Hondas their entire life just purchased a brand new 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid. I've even seen some of the Lexus crowd in San Francisco begin to purchase the MKTs and MKSs. The MKS ecoboost looks SHARP in real life (I'm obviously biased).

Only thing that could make Ford/Lincoln better is if they launched the MKR and MKC.
