I think Ford is missing the boat by veering away from providing reliable, affordable work vehicles and instead focussing on silliness like "military grade Aluminum", cameras, auto parking, and steps in the bumpers.R.

Two years ago we bought a new car, the cheapest econobanger manual shift, crank down windows model they make -and it wasn't a domestic car either. Don't feel bad about that as US models could not compete. Besides, the low end "domestic" cars are made in Mexico. <br /><br />Ford is also in denial about electric cars. Just wait until the cheap electric imports come in.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.com
