The F-150, while still a top seller, is losing market to GM and Toyota. Only other things they have are the focus which has little appeal to new buyers. Mazda has the 3 series, and thats about it. Ford needs to build a spunky, low cost, fuel efficient car. I'm not talking like a chevy aveo low cost, but something that a buyer would take a second glance at over a civic or an accord.

Re: Anybody wanna see a ship sink?
Ford really is different then all the other Companies. I mean they care so little and put the most dangerous products out, they surely have the most deadly cars of all time. Oh wait, 3 out of the 4 most deadly cars of all time are GM cars.

How can that be, they care more about consumers then $'s unlike Ford. HMMM!
Funny, the Explorer doesn't look like the deadliest vehicle here either.

Here are their list of most deadly vehicles from 99-03:
Highest Rates of Driver Death

I wonder How this could be? I mean since Fords business practices are obviously so much worse than everyone else's. I'm sure Chevy had no I dea that gas tanks on the outside of the frame on their full size trucks, wasn't safe. Or the Corvair back in the day.
Dave22, are you really this dumb, or did you get fired from Ford. Maybe a family member. Or did the fact that you happened to be behind an explorer accident make you lose all sense of reason?
By the way the search I did above took all of two seconds to disprove your theory.
