Nah, they are "too big to fail". Big Brother is going to take more of our money and bail them out... probably not doing anything about the ridiculous union contracts that are driving the company to bankruptcy. I've had several Fords and they weren't too bad, although none have been econoboxes. In fact, it's been many years since I've had a furrin car, and except for a few, wouldn't have one in my garage.
