Few days ago I read financial statements from Motor Companies in the United States. Anyway, most of the stuff was old news, about Imports increasing their business. GM is about same, Chrysler increased their business (Hemi engines are gettying a lot of attention), but Ford is the only one who's business is down. Sales are down.

So, what is happening with Ford? They introduced new F-Series (which is probably best truck ever), new Mustang was introduced, 500, Freestyle, GT, Focus was re-designed.

So, what the problem?

They haven't started selling the cars you mention until just recently. Aside from the Focus.

They experiencing a higher than usual lull in auto sales while they are clearing inventory to make room for the 500, Freestyle, Mustang, etc.

Ford should have a very strong 4th quarter/1st quarter 2005.

yah, you have to wait untill those new cars are on the lots. They knew that they needed new cars so they are comming. They even designated this the "year of the car"

Good things are comming for us in the Blue Oval camp I believe B)
