Hence their problem. All they have to do is build a good car...Honda, and
Toyota can but THEY can't? What kind of sense does it make to build cars
for about a hundred years and decide to make a TRUCK with ball joints
without grease nips just to save a buck or two...(our Daks)...
They have no one to blame but themselves.

I can understand the sentiment behind that... from the standpoint of
Ford... however I think its a little irritating that they would mandate
that. One guy was quoted as having said something like drive or buy
what you build... well yeah thats nice.. I'm sure every guy that builds
ford trucks will want to drive one with the WOOONDERFUL gas milage that
full size trucks get. Granted a UAW worker makes a hell of a lot more
money than I do.. and can afford more gasoline than I can... but don't
expect them to buy what they build.
On a related note - on my many trips between chicago and wisconsin over
the years, I have seen lots of non Dodge products parked in the lots at
the Belvedere IL Neon plant. Heh
