Ford CEO said that Ford doesn't need any bailout money. How could they
be
better off than GM? One thing might be that GM makes too many different
cars and they all cost millions to design and build.

most of those "different cars" are on the same platform a the differences
are just cosmetic.

Ford has the Ford 150 and 250 trucks - pretty hard to beat, consumer-
wise...

==================

Ford has also sold about a bazillion Mustangs as well.

(Love the Mustang. But I loved my 'Vette, too.)

Interesting new print ad - a full-page Chevy ad in my new Better Homes
& Gardens, claiming (I'm sure it's accurate) that they have more
models with x (I think 30 mpg) highway mileage than Honda, Nissan,
Toyota, VW, etc. The problem is, they have too many models, period.
