    Old Trader, Ford has received billions from the DoE in corporate welfare so they aren't pure by any means. But refering to my earlier post, the perception is that they are the last "American" car company standing.

    I think the American car companies have been kept afloat for decades by people who want to "buy American". I think this also explains the descrepencies in the sales figures. Buying "welfare cars"/Chrysler & GM vehicle is not considered "American" by middle Ameirica. Ford is the only true American car company left standing in their eyes. As the owner of several Fords, I'm in that camp as well. If I'm right, then GM and Chrysler had better build superior cars in a big hurry because they are on the same footing as Honda and Toyota in the mind of US consumers which means they will be compared soley on their products. Treacherous turf to be sure.

    Europe is an non-competetive as it gets yet it doesn't run huge trade deficits. Other than protectionism, how do I explain this...VAT. Tax consumtion rather than production.

    I'm in the business and I was shocked by the Northrop win. I would call it a shot across the bow for the tanker bid to be sure. I've been thinking that the Aif Force is pissed about the rigged tanker bid that has tarnished their reputation and is taking it out on the perp, Boeing.
