I keep hearing on the news about GM closing dealerships and selling off lagging brands and Chrysler going bankrupt but I never hear anything about Ford? Whats going on with them? I know they sold off the lagging brands a few years ago (Volvo, Jaguar, Land Rover) and they just launched a new truck which seems to be doing real good. I'm basically asking how is Ford doing compared to other 2 domestic auto makers?

Thank For Any Input



Answer
News companies want the biggest stories and want to be the first to cover them, and frankly GM and Chrysler have had more "exciting" news to talk about. Ford never took money in the first place, still is not asking for money, and still is a ways away from potentially asking for money. All of these mean that Ford is a boring company in terms of the news, which it's hard to argue that that's a bad thing right now.

The refreshed F-150 has been selling well, as well as the refreshed Fusion. Ford also has a new Mustang which should be showing up to dealerships very very soon, and there's a completely redesigned Taurus that is on track to arrive around July. Ford is bringing out new cars that people want instead of scrapping the ideas to save some short term cash. It seems to be working, too. By summer depending on how the economy turns out and what GM eventually goes through, it will be interesting to see how much Ford's sales and overall image improve.

What is the point of twitter if facebook is like the same thing?







Facebook u broadcast and twitter u do so wy made twitter juss a copier?


Answer
They are similar in that they are both social media tools, but your question is similar to asking why build different models of cars since they are all made for driving. For instance let's have everyone drive a Ford instead of an Audi or a Cadillac or Volvo for example. Twitter however is used more for sending quick and brief notices and is popular with the law enforcement or politicians for informing the community of an announcement or breaking news. Facebook started out as a mostly kick-back friends and socializing type web service for young crowd but has gradually moved to include many serious uses similar to twitter. As others have said Facebook has built in plenty of tools and features eventhough chances are high twitter will also keep on making enhancements to remain competitive.

there's a mazda car i was really interested in, but then i found out they were owned by ford. i am not and never have been a fan of ford cars and hearing this news really let down(to each their own). would ford owning mazda have a big influence on the quality? how long have they owned them?


Answer
As a corporation yes Ford owns controlling interest in Mazda. If that is going to throw you then you should avoid LandRover, Jaguar, and Volvo as they own controlling interest in those car companies as well.

Now down to the nitty gritty...corporate ownership does not mean they are all "Fords." Ford does use innovations and materials from the other companies it controls with the Ford line of vehicles, to include Lincoln and Mercury. This does not mean however that they mess with the quality of the companines they control. Cause if your a Toyota or Nissan fan you might wanna avoid them as well. As I bet you would be shocked to realize they have partnered with Ford in the past to mutually help the other out with their car lines. Examples of this are the Rav4 which is a Toyota in the US and Ford Maverick in Europe...the Nissan Quest and the Mercury Villager both in the US market.

Every car company produces a lemon or good concept, but bad performance vehicle from time to time...however I know folks who dish GM and Chrysler just as much as Ford gets dished. So why don't you go test drive the Mazda your interested in and discover for yourself what a nice product and vehicle they produce.

What is a good sporty car for a 17 year old?




Dukey


I'm looking for a sports-like car for my 17 year old son. Not new or anything like that, but something used. I was going to buy a used 2003 Mustang but the rear wheel drive made me think otherwise. What car would fit the following criteria:

1. Sporty (Something that resembles a Mustang or Ford Fusion type thing or other sports car)
2. Front wheel drive
3. Automatic transmission
4. Not outragerously priced (7k - 11k used)
5. Reliable



Answer
The fusion is "sporty"? news to me. Sporty fwd cars are laughable, and automatic transmissions in a "sporty" car is just plain wrong. Your best bet is going to be a volvo or older mercedes-benz, followed by a vw or toyota. All are fairly reliable, quite safe, and some even manage to have some semblance of a sporting character. There's nothing inherently unsafe about RWD, especially with todays stability and traction control systems. I'd recommend an older e-class, or an 8 series volvo. A celica might not be a bad choice, but giving a 17 year old boy a car that can even remotely considered "sporty" is asking for trouble ( As a 17 yo, i wrecked a bmw driving like a jackass). Unless you like paying traffic fines. i'd urge you to reconsider.
