@aSoundofSleep: Dude, I'm running on like 2 hours of sleep. I might very well be on fire, I wouldn't have enough awareness of the world around me to notice.
It's good when the hurricane misses your house. It's better when it misses your state entirely. Ford has no incentive to see GM become an ever growing sinkhole, that takes its own suppliers and a lot of the rest of the economy along with it.
I can't take Mark Fields seriously. First, his statement that he thinks a committee will do a better job shows how out of touch with reality he has become. Second, all I can see when I look at him is this:
Having a committee instead of a car czar will allow GM and Chrysler to educate more government officials to the state of the industry and the importance of the industry.
@aSoundofSleep: I think he meant an inverted mountain of cash, as in, "Ford's huge hole is a little bit smaller than GM's ginormous crevasse and Chrysler's Grand Canyon."

Do you mean all that money Ford has from mortgaging every single asset they use to own? Including rights to the logo!
One day Ford will be required to pay that money back, where will the money come from?

Dad, can I have $60 billion?
No!
Mom, can I have $60 billion?
What did your father say?
He was okay with it.
Well then, I guess so . . .

Honestly though, good for Ford. I'm excited to see at least one of the three Musketeers doing well.

At first glance I thought you wrote Chrysler's Grand Caravan which is ironic because they all belong in the Grand Canyon.
