Hey BK.

Hey, what's the buzz on the Ford Flex? I was checking that out the other day and couldn't help liking it. I see Ford actually posted a profit last Q.

We've got a couple on order for stock...no build date yet. It's going to be expensive...not very fuel efficient!!!

Profit was due to non North American Operations...hopefully NA can get back in the black.

A lot of the savings are attributable to the massive buy outs...the company was/is way too fat...they were necessary.

Hopefully the Flex will fill the hole left by the departure of the Windstar...which was the second best selling mini-van in the country. The Freestar was a disaster!!!

5-6 cyl turbodiesel...not in the near...or distant future I'm afraid. Gas prices are still way too low for the demand to be great enough.
