You really are comparing apples to oranges here. Saleen is an aftermarket manufacturer who isn't producing tens of thousands of cars that it has to honor a factory 60k mile warranty on.
Sigh... if only I could get uTorrent to work without my cable company throttling the connection to death. I made the switch to "the use of a net" awhile ago and haven't looked back :)
My work explores the relationship between acquired software and recycling culture.
With influences as diverse as Munch and Buckminster Fuller, new insights are manufactured from both traditional and modern dialogues.
Ever since I was a teenager I have been fascinated by the unrelenting divergence of the mind. What starts out as contemplation soon becomes corroded into a tragedy of futility, leaving only a sense of unreality and the prospect of a new order.
As momentary pirated software becomes frozen through studious and academic practice, the viewer is left with an insight into the corners of our world.
I agree, that is exactly why Ford is investing cash; to beef up it's image. They have a steep hill to climb to be sure, but I think Ford still has an opportunity to get Lincoln out of the bland category if they are willing to design from the ground up and not badge engineer.
I have to disagree. Ford has killed Mercury, sold Jag and Land Rover so that leaves Ford with no other luxury nameplate except Lincoln. This means that Ford is putting all it's "luxury" eggs in one basket, risk adverse or not that is a decisive move.
The crux of your article hinges on the assumption that Ford won't invest the billions required yet it has just primed the pump with $1B over the next three years? Not to mention as Ford focuses more on profitability they will be able to pour more into it?
