Ford scraping bottom...

Ford scraping bottom...

"Ford began offering $1,000 last month to employees who persuaded friends and relatives to buy a Ford. That deal runs through Sept. 30."

What a stupid idea. Who implemented that? It would be much more effective if they gave the CUSTOMERS $1000 cash. But they want their employees to be jerks and persuade family and friends. Sounds like some bad MLM marketing strategy in place there.

No wonder their stock is at $10.41 and GM is at $34.76.

eh, different companies, different strategies...
if it works it works, if it doesnt, then sucks fo them lol.

i would get the hybrid ford

Hm, I just see it as a weak attempt to keep up with GM employee discount sales campaign. I don't really think it's quite as effective as actually imparting savings or bonuses to the actual consumers. The consumers are ultimatley the ones supporting the company, not the workers. If Ford wants better profits, give the people what they want don't try to force it on them. They are making their employees "middle men". Just be up front with the consumer. While it is a good motivational bonus for employees you still have to offer the consumer something substantially attractive. Thats just my take on it.

eh I dk don't like Ford to much but I wouldn't mind having a F350 turbodiesel

I'd like to have a King Ranch f-150.
Too much g-d money though...

yea....i agree, statik...give it to the consumer instead of just employees....instead of having repeat customers within the company's employee's family n friends...why not have repeat customers with the entire united states of america....

Yea those are fancy trucks man, luxury leather interior, all kinds of electronics, really comfy and the price OH MY GOSH!!! insane price though.... for a Ford.

Yeah, my boss has one. I've borrowed it a few times. Yeah it's comfy! I love the smell of the leather too..

Ford has produced some great vehicles, but I think that they have been having problems for a while. I guess corporation goes through that in the lifespan.

yea they have, I just like those turbodiesel trucks cause of the power and if u chip them and add a few bolt ons and stuff they're fast as a motherflick , my friend had a chip, boost controller and exhaust system on a F350 and that thing picked up 60 mph in no time it's crazy but sweet as hell though

okay FORD = just buy me later i will have problems and lately GM has been falling back on quality so what more can i say.

Um... BUY TOYOTA?!

This could go down in history as one of the most unreadable post.

post revised, yes and thats why I'd rather buy a Toyota even though they have had few recalls.
I think the only thing FORD has going for it are the new mustangs.

Ford does have the Mustang, and their full size trucks are actually pretty good too, and if they would start selling the euro focus over here, they'd have a really good compact car... but the taurus has got to die... like, right now

/\ is it me or did the 90's taurus have the same or really similar taillightsto an rx7?

ford blows......their trucks aernt as good as you make them out to be, if I was looking for a truck, ford would be the last place i would look, and yes, i have owned ford trucks. If you look really close at a ford you will see the terrible quality of the truck, the lines done line up, headlights wont fit exact, little things that shouldnt get pass quality checks.......oh, and I know a guy who works in the factory that makes all the rims for ford trucks, and the rims for the F250, F350, etc.....and up, are all unsafe because of the way Ford demands they be welded....its only a matter of time before someones rim splits into two pieces on one of those things, the company just doesnt say anything becaues ford is their biggest customer

okay so we all agree FORD sucks! Toyota and Asian car companies rule! okay maybe subaru has minor problems
