Boosting your alliegence towards Toyota does nothing for you. The back of the Malibu is questionable. Have you seen the back of a new Accord or Camry, nothing to write home about. Knowing your a Ford fan and me being someone whom wants to see the big 3 rise again, the Ford Fusion is the best looking of them all, it just needs a power boost and a marketing boost to go along. I'm not anti import, I am just amazed that the two best selling sedans in this country are all based on hype. The styling of both these sedans makes it fact that they are cars for non car people. It is amaziong the amount of stupid people on this site, many of whom are Americans who want to see one of the last remaining manufacturing industries in America go under. Go elsewhere. heart64, a true Ford fan would at least have respect for the other domestic 2 in this day and age. Boosting your alliegence towards Toyota does nothing for you.

Then Henry went berserk, endorsed and financed Adolf Hitler then created corporate structure that will not let the company grow. In it's present governance form FoMoCo is doomed. The splash to prosperity in 90s was under management of Jacques Nasser who was replaced by inbreeds from Ford-Firestone clan. Model T did change the world as it was known 100 years ago.

Strong demand for those models helped propel the Japanese car maker onto the throne as the world’s largest auto seller. Can I ask is this news current enough for you SS, it was taken only two weeks ago! So excuse me who is in dream land and who isn't here is more the question. Its more like your in comatose state with a comment oflike (GM is still ahead)-Duh no their NOT dummy than anything else. This ain't 1972 anymore and GM does'nt own 40% of the market like they did. And Ford does'nt own 30% of it either. Its much more comparable GM at 22.1% and Ford at 18.9%. Now its interesting to Note Ford had 27% of the Market in 1996 and was on track to pass GM then. But that's when Ford Motor fell asleep by not redesigning any of the core products. Meanwhile Toyota has overtake domestically and worldwide. Ummm I think you got that all Wrong SS4Life.
