[Shotimes] (OT) Forbe's article about Ford

[Don McKinnon (AST)]

I really like this article!

"The way to fix the problem is to build a better Taurus. Keep it longer, but
get more powerful motors. Your engines are no match for the competition, and
you need a punchier four-cylinder for Taurus, too. "

and...
"Meanwhile, rear-wheel drive is coming back into vogue, and Ford, which has
the only rear-wheel-drive big U.S. sedans in production (the Ford Crown
Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis), could take advantage of this fact. But
instead of turning these into competitive products, the automaker is happy
to let them age and sell the Fords to taxi drivers and cops, and the Mercs
to geezers like myself. "

We've all heard the bad news about Ford.  This Forbe's article points out
some of the strengths of Ford:

I find it interesting that some of the observations made in the article are
the same as some observations posted on this list.
