1. The company sat back in the 90's counting their cash from thier lucky streak on the hot truck market. they should have been designing a car that would sell...Remember Nasser saying that the Tbird, Cougar tempo topaz and escort line were not the ford Motor companys core business? they might not have been breaking sales records but at least they were steady sales.
2. Piss poor managment reigns supreme at Ford...always has and apparently always will
(Mullaly...come on?!?)
3. All of the cuts, layoffs, Buyouts GEN or TLO's in the world against the people who actually do the work will not help them if they cant design a car that sells.
4. Washington DC needs a swift kick in the ass for not having better legislation protecting American business
5. The Ford Upper managment need to quit worrying about Wall Street and build a product pleasing to the customer. Piss on Wall Street...They are in the same bed as the Bush Administration in wishing our American hourly/salary jobs right out the door to China!
