FORD has gotten ahead of everyone by one full year. Many people I have spoken with are declaring 2010 a year of reinvention, but FORD, in a do or die situation brought on by the recession, got ahead of the curve. This company put its people in gear by reworking a new deal with their unionized staff; rolling out new car models and upgrades and offering intense public incentives to buy new American cars again. Not one to buy local, even I was surprised and swayed into buying American (Lincoln LS). They asked us to support them and promised they would get their act together, we did and they kept their word.
Initially laying off employees and taking some of the handout money offered by the government, FORD has called workers back to work and has already paid back the money borrowed from the government. For all of this we tip our hats and rev our engines for the American powerhouse that drove straight through the most recent recession.
