It is funny but it would be more funny if it was GM or Chrysler in the picture. Ford doesn’t need money yet. Right? ---

I want to go test drive a bunch of GM/Ford cars just to see how they are now. When I used to do valet, it was clear who was on top of quality. ---

Ford sold 32,579 Focus in May versus 8,194 sold in November. It is funny what the price of gas will force people to do. And just so no one says well that is Ford. The Civic May 2008 had 53,299 sales and in November 17,690 sales. The Corolla, 52,826 sold in May 2008 versus 21,807 sold in November. > **[Warren Brown - Perceptions of Detroit Are Miles From Reality](https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/12/12/AR2008121201927.html)** > > Perception is everything, or almost everything. If anything is to be learned from Detroit's beg-fest on Capitol Hill, it's at least that much. ---

If gas stays reasonably cheap for awhile, which it looks like this recession will be lingering for some time so I would think so, and the big 3 meet their liquidity concerns, look for them to come storming back. ---
