General Motors may be struggling, but as far as industry insiders are concerned, Ford is worse off. “The reasons are as obvious as the new models on the showroom floor, which are for the most part dull and uninteresting,” says Don Hammonds of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “I’ve thought Ford was in worse shape than GM for the last six months or so,” said Jack Nerad of Kelley Blue Book. “A lot of us were looking at what we already have from Ford and what we know is coming from Ford, and we are less positive about what’s coming up for them vs. what GM has been announcing.” Ford sorely needs a car like the Chevy Corvette, Pontiac Solstice or Saturn Sky, says Hammonds. Ford has the Mustang, but interest may be waning, he says.
