Gm goes bk....
Ford. It's got financial problems of its own, but GM's crosstown rival looks like it may be able to solve them without declaring bankruptcy or asking for a bailout. That puts Ford at the top of a troubled domestic heap. "Ford's in a good position," says Craig Cather, CEO of forecasting firm CSM Worldwide. "Anybody who wants to buy American would be likely to have more confidence in Ford than in GM or Chrysler."
CSM predicts that Ford's U.S. market share, about 16 percent now, could rise to nearly 19 percent by 2015. With overall industry sales expected to rebound nicely by then, a few extra points of share could push Ford's overall U.S. sales from about 1.5 million this year to 3 million by 2015. That would be a huge gain almost certain to propel Ford past GM as the biggest U.S. automaker
