   In a few months after the idiotic Trump tariffs take affect, they even drop more as Ford and others will be forced to increase their pricing even higher. Add in retaliatory tariffs from Canada and Mexico and it’ll be sorry time for the U.S. economy. Bend over and grab your ankles….the circus is back in town!!!

      I’m actually not averse to another Great Recession because prices are way out of line to begin with but this makes it even worse. Great Depression? He’s just as dumb as a brick. It’s an epidemic. So are most auto execs.

      The stock market is currently estimated to be 112% to 183% overvalued as it is. Warren Buffet is sitting on a record amount of cash, by about double from before. The Boomers are retiring and will pull/use up their investment dollars. The economy bends to the Boomers and always has because of how many of them there are. Demographics alone demand a reckoning in the economy. Everything has been skewed to what the largest and wealthiest generation in history can afford.

      The tariffs will be relatively short term pain for long term gain.

      You need to learn the art of negotiating. It sounds like you’re being educated by the liberal media. You’ll figure it out

      Canada and Mexico already folded. The USA has the worlds largest economy. 70. Percent of Canada’s economy comes from the USA. You are a coward.

   Maybe Fird needs a real Fusion model. A sedan with good performance. If Ford can’t do it KIA or H has my next car.

   The only other sales results for January that I’ve seen are Hyundai and Kia and both had double-digit INCREASES. Not good, Ford, and it’s going to get a LOT worse, very quickly.

   Or, to put it another way, total Lincoln sales were about 2/3 of the Bronco Sport. Someone needs to play John Wilkes Booth.
   OH…and bringing greater productivity to the US? Yeah, a really dumb idea.

   Farley INSISTS on making nothing but boring SUVs and a Mustang that looks like a Camaro. Get Farley out of there. Ford needs new imaginative blood running things.o

   Previous administration brought on high inflation and interest rates that stifled sales but Ford’s high pricing doesn’t help.

   Trumps tariffs are already working Mexico is sending 10,000 troops to the border. If not in one month the tariffs are on again same with Canada. Now the Mustang prices are out of control, no wonder there almost the biggest decrease. Mustang E is 172% yup 172% down.

   As long as Farley runs around and threatens (and actually does) cancel popular models, people will shy away from Ford vehicles. He has threatened to get rid of the Escape for a long time. He killed the Edge and the Fusion. He publicly criticizes Ford customers saying they are making wrong choices in their vehicles by not buying what he insists should sell – EVs. He has the typical left-wing liberal attitude – “I’ll tell you what you can have then you buy it”, instead of “I’ll build what you want, make it the best product I know how to build, and move Heaven and Earth to make it the way you want it”. Is the outcome we’re seeing any surprise?

      It looks like the EV “fad” is going to run a little longer despite the oil industry’s bitch being the president. Unfortunately, Ford has few models to sell in the USA. An Escape or Focus sized EV would be popular. And no transmission to screw up.

      “If I had asked people what they wanted, they’d say a faster horse” said somebody who would be building EVs today.

      You are so absolutely right. Thank you. There’s something a bit less tangible. For a long time, Ford had the vibe of being a more friendly, down to earth car company. GM had sharper edges and Chrysler was trying to keep up. Farley and his predecessor pissed all of that image and goodwill away. Ford is now “we are going to give you what WE think is best, so deal with it”.

   Farley’s bet on electric vehicles was was a huge mistake. He got way ahead of the non extent demand for EVs due to the lack of infrastructure to support them . Recaps have increased under him also. He needs to be replaced.
