The quote is accurate. Do you think it is possible that both quotes are accurate? Perhaps there is more than one quote from Henry Ford? Your first post and you are already wrong. It will be very difficult for you to match my 97.6% accuracy rate.

Tundra sales up 74%. Maybe Toyota does know what they are doing. If Ford was thinking they would let Bill jr go work for Toyota. Let Bill jr teach Toyota the turtle on the post management style. Even the playing field.

Autoblog test of the GM system. Ford will need something to compete with this. There are 2 electric motors and everything is contained in the tranny. http://www.autobloggreen.com/2007/05/01/ab...-and-gmc-yukon/

They have diesels in cars. Go to Europe and you can buy a 300 with a diesel. Build a hybrid and lose money.

Why would you call a guy that is right 97.6% of the time a tard?

It will be interesting to see Chryslers first quarter numbers.

What is a Rhondo? No I don't drive one. I have a Dart and a GTX and Monte CarloSS and a Valiant convertible and a Chevy pickup and a Ford Ranger but no Rhondo.

I remember when they were launching the Pacifica and Zetsche was calling it a segment buster. Just before he said that Toyota would never outsell Chrysler in the USA.

I did not change the subject. I am merely replying to the dealer that knows more about the auto industry than anyone else. You are the one that is ducking replying to the topic.

spin, spin and more spin

Well I know the Ford dealer I bought my truck from provides abysmall service and from what I hear the other ones in town are no better.The dealers are the weakest link in the whole Ford system.

Actually I think the genius of my posts is that I will make predictions and then watch them come true.

We will just wait a couple more months and see then. OK?

Actually Bluecon is right 97.6% of the time.
