Mark Fields, President of the Americas, Ford Motor Company, speaks to the future of Ford and the progress Ford has made on building the products that consumers demand.
I dont understand why management was simply allowed to opt out of their concessionary obligations, while the hourly people are being subjected to involuntary servitude, being forced to labor under their obligations.
Ford management is not bad. They are doing the right things, and they are doing it at an incredible pace. As the accolades continue to roll in, the only thing left to change is public perception. Public perception will not turn on a dime. The public is so slow to change perception. Any opinion now is about 10 years in the making. So the question is, can Ford outlast the perception lag?
I believe Ford has shown real leadership and has long since changed the way it does business and research data proves it such as IIHS (16 Top Safety Picks), JD Powers Initial Quality and Long Term Dependability (Above Average) and Consumer Reports (Above Average, equal with Honda and Toyota in quality).
These things have taken years of work to implement to see these results. After being screwed by Chrysler long ago my family knows it can count on Ford and we appreciate it! Great Job!
What a story Mark

Ford hasn't even gotten the same bridge loans as GM or Chrysler. DO NOT DUMP THEM IN THE SAME CAMP AS GM AND CHRYSLER. Shame on you.

I wasn't giving the person credentials, and I was definitely not agreeing with them (Because I am a huge Ford fan :D).
It just seems they have confidence in what they said, I was mostly curious as to where they got their facts.
From what I know Alan Mulally has completely turned Ford in a positive direction, and I give him upmost respect for it.
