As long as Ford continues to gain market share on their domestic and foreign competitors, they will do just fine. Ford has made market share increases in 6 of the last 7 months and as pointed out is burning much less cash. toyota can't say that.

Just got my 2009 F150

I have had my truck for one week and love it. It is a supercrew and the kids fit in the back great. I tholt about holding off for a while so the economy would get better, but why hold off TAKE A CHANCE they will pay you car payment for a year if you loose your job. I got th XL, I realy don't like all that crome.

Yeah, that's right. Can't afford to pay your mortgage? Thinking about trying to bolster your savings in case your job evaporates? Nah, what the hell, go buy that shiny new truck! If something goes downhill, Ford will bail you out.

Where have I heard this sort of reasoning before?

I hear ya and agree, however, Ford, GM and Hyundia are goading people into buying new vehicles with these rediculous offers. If a person can reasonably afford a new vehicle and feels that his/her job is secure, then why not pull the trigger. Unless you have a matress stuffed full of cash, there are no guarantees. You only get this dance once, enjoy yourself responsibly.
