I agree with everything said here ... plus there's another dimension. The cost to design and build such a limited edition is probably much higher than what Ford can recover from this vehicle, even if they weren't giving the $300 per.

But the fact that we're discussing this points to another benefit for the charity - positive exposure that doesn't cost them a dime ... both immediate and long term for as long as those cars stay on the road. Advertising and promotion is usually the biggest cost that a charity has ... and so to get this kind of exposure along with a cheque for $60 grand is all good.

Not to be an obviously biased Ford Fanboy here, but the company has lost more than a few BILLION that last few years. Everyone assumes that their pockets are bottomless.

Toyota just announced a $13.7 BILLION dollar profit for the year. When is the specialeditionanythinggoestocharity vehicle from them being announced?

(and PS. Although it sounds like I'm being pissy, it's not my intention. Just pointing out the facts.)
