Ford News: Ford Relying On New Models, Cost Cuts

reldridge,Nov 17 2008, 01:24 PM Wrote:Ford will make it, due to the strength of the small car lines and the willingness to evolve (and survive). Ford is also much stronger in other markets (Europe, Australia, South America, Asia) than Chrysler and GM. GM does have Vauxhaul/Opel in Europe, Holden in Australia and Buick in China, but Chrysler has nothing to compare...

^^ I agree ... plus Ford's cash position is much better than GMs (they arranged significant financing last year) and IIRC their burn rate is much less than GM ... of all the domestic three, I think Ford has the best future if there's no bail out.
