I hear about a billion dollars, not too bad for a company who didn't take any of the billions that the govt. was giving away to any broke and poorly managed company who wanted it. Now comes the problem, Ford has labor contracts comming up and the guy who gets 35 bucks an hour for installing a set of floor mats is going to want more money, what are you going to do, this is one of the reasons we can't compete. I thought the customer satisfaction survey released at the same time was interesting. Ford: 90% positive GM: 44% positive Chrysler 4% positive. I guess we know why they spun the truck business off to a stand alone company.
Well, Ford Made Some Money

Fisherman,
I blame GM executives for what happened to their company. When government first started interfering in vehicle design, after Ralph Nader’s attacks on the Corvair in the early 1960s, they should have demanded the right to keep vehicle design and engineering between them and their customers. Companies that fail to put their customers first, ahead of government, unions, and lawyers will go out of business.
