Ford Includes Sirius in Long-Range Plans

Only two of the 13 comments on this Seeking Alpha article had any substance. Does Seeking Alpha not screen any comments? Or is it simply a place for showing pure ignorance...?

The Ford Debt Disaster Continues

User213180 is right on! Back when Ford management caved in to union demands, the downdraft started. Here in the U.S. we still need pickup trucks and SUVs in many locations and there will always be a demand for such. Can your little 60 HP vehicle tow a stock trailer full of 10 to 20 fat steers to market? Can it tow one of the millions of recreational travel trailers? Can it deliver those goods to Wal-Mart, the same as an eighteen wheeler does? Can it bring a five ton load of wheat, corn, soybeans, etc., to market? Think about it. All we need is automotive management that can perform in stiff competition.

Detroit: Tow Ridiculous

Out West we can't afford to use only small vehicles. Yes, many folks do buy vehicles that have a towing arrangement and then only drive them to the grocery store and to work. But there are recreational uses for those vehicles several times per year, used to hook up to a travel trailer, boat or utility trailer. The little four cyclinder, 90 horsepower town car just won't do. My farm and ranch friends often have to handle crops such as 1500 pound bales of hay, several tons of corn, soybeans, cotten, etc. They need those heavy duty pickups and other trucks. They commonly hook up to big stock trailers to haul ten to twenty fat steers to market, loads that weigh just a bit more than a lap-top or breif case normally handled by city folks.

Lets stop simply watching out for ourselves as city dudes. Give the country folks a break...!

Good article, and the kind we need to see more of. At least it gives us several things to do research on.

Are Cars Loans Our Next Problem?

Advertising has pushed many people into buying beyond their means. Now it is beginning to come back to haunt them...and the really bad part is that we tax payers are being forced to pay them out.
