20 years from now maybe Ford will be around, the other 2 forget about.
0 kids today (Y generation 18-30) are buying any of them.

This thread is moot.Ford and Toyota are now partners in developing REAL hybrids.
Ford And Toyota To Develop Rear-Wheel Drive Hybrids Together
Earthquakes and Depressions breed strange bed partners.Can't wait to see Huyndai and Kia,the two cheepest piece of crap vehicles ever to be built go belly-up.
Toyota got the biggest flush down the toilet by the Obama admin for what was in the end a fabricated recall for "stuck accelators" for the best built cars/trucks on the planet......imagine that.
In the end Ford paid back its "loan" and by partnering with Toyota gave Obama the "One Fingered Salute" he so deseverdly earned.Ford actually took some forward thinking intitiative without Obama's consent and will actually make American autos great again and Obama will have had zero to do with it.
Win/Win for America!

But that's the whole point of the Ford/Toyota venture.They will exceed the mileage and then some.Suckers nothing.....this venture will actually produce engines that make the TDI look like a guzzler.Screw German engineering,wouldn't you rather see US made cars outperforming VW in the fuel economy category?
Currently other than the TDI motor VW's suck. |

Ford didn't take any bailout money.
The rest literally begged for bailout money.

Ford has all those cushy government contracts which probably helped. |

Doesn't hurt that the F-series pickups have out sold every other
pickup in it's class since the early 90's and is the only one that
has increased sales since 2008.
They make a great truck.

Not true. Golf tdi gets 30 city, 42 highway averages about 40. The prius drivers I know get overall 44. Consumer reports rates tdi 38 prius 44. Some people report higher in both. The golf is more expensive than a prius. Diesel is more expensive. Overall a prius is much cheaper to own and less emissions. The civic hybrid is about equal to a tdi, though again it is cheaper. |
No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.
