Now jatfla, you might want to wait until OM unveils the new matchbox series - they all run on Hope & Change.

I was wanting to get a new Ram truck this year. Love the idea of having boxes built into the side of the truck. But now I'll more likely get a Ford or possibly a Toyota. It would take a pretty amazing deal for me to even consider buying a Dodge or Chevy now.

Fords ability to hang in there says a lot for the company. My brother has been taking cuts in benefits for years now and even though he's been somewhat unpleasant to be around, Ford has survived. They saw the writing on the wall and prepared for it.

Ford Motor Co.'s U.S. market share grew last month, and sales surpassed even mighty Toyota's. Ford's shares have outperformed those of Honda and Toyota over the past year. Shares of archrival General Motors Corp., now in bankruptcy, are nearly worthless.
