Ford gaining customers by not taking handouts

Maybe it is a sign of strenght – Ford Tough – or maybe it is the public’s reaction to the government bailouts, but Ford Motor Company is finding new customers by not taking federal money. I know that I personally have been thinking about a Super Duty instead of a Ram or Duramax for the same reasons.

Alan Mullaly said – “We have so many more advantages from where we are. Ford is in a completely different place,” Mulally said. “People also want to know they are with a company that is viable, that will be here long term and that is on a positive track.”

Ford is seeking the same priviledges that the other automakers have – specifically the ‘no strike’ agreement.
