I don't remember Ford having problems selling any minivans until they changed it from Windstar to Freestar. Dumbest movie. Still don't understand it. Being that Ford has been out of the minivan market for so long, they'd have to spend a lot of dough to market that thing.

So when will the Expedition be getting a complete redesign? I know its not a top priority, but I'm positive sales will pick up some once a redesigned model is launched. I guess with gas prices rising once again its being pushed back to the back-burner.

When are they supposed to release it? If you know.

Interesting................soooo are we going to see any pics of the Escape concept tonight?! Thats what I'm most interesting in at the moment.

I see Ford's car lineup in sales ranked as: Focus, Fusion, Fiesta, Taurus. With the Fusion occasionally outselling the Focus in a given month. I do think the Fiesta will sale quite well. But the Focus as well as its competitors will outsell the Fiesta. IMO.

Where will the Explorer be revealed?

The list itself is the top 20, but there are only four Fords in the top 10.

Idk if anyone has, but I sure am interested in what they are......

Ummm...shouldn't the Altima be ahead of the Prius?

True compared to years ago its good. When I saw those two numbers 118,000 and 158,000 I was like wow. But thinking about it now its not bad. I also wonder how the Equinox did compared to the Escape.

So retail was 118,000 and with fleet was 158,000? Thats a lot of fleet huh?

I asked the same thing on the thread over at GMI. But I asked if it was 15,000. I think your right though Pioneer.

LOL that was hilarious!!!

I actually like Wal-Mart, but I hate going because there are so many people shopping!

Ford Motor Company Statement on Proposed Congressional Automotive Industry Bill DEARBORN, Mich., Dec. 8 – As we told Congress, Ford is in a different position. We do not face a near-term liquidity issue, and we will not be seeking a short term bridge loan. But Ford fully supports an effort to address the near-term liquidity issues of GM and Chrysler, as our industry is highly interdependent and a failure of one of our competitors could affect us all. http://media.ford.com/article_displa...ticle_id=29549 U.S. Could Take Stakes in Big 3 Bailout Plan Gives Government Warrants in Exchange for Loans; Passage Uncertain By GREG HITT WASHINGTON -- Congress and the White House inched toward a financial rescue of the Big Three auto makers, negotiating legislation that would give the U.S. government a substantial ownership stake in the industry and a central role in its restructuring. Under terms of the draft legislation, which continued to evolve Monday evening, the government would receive warrants for stock equivalent to at least 20% of the loans any company receives. The company also would have to agree to limits on executive compensation and dividend payments, much like those contained in the government's $700 billion rescue of the financial industry. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122875608562688401.html The nationalization of the American auto industry. I'm glad Ford is trying to steer clear.
