I am sure stangers are watching developments with Ford closely. Unfortunately, the deep seated problems with GM are certain to affect Chrysler and Ford as well. These are complex issues: the need to preserve American jobs, contagion effects on suppliers / related industries, bloated labor costs, large healthcare and pension liabilities, a truly difficult sales environment and a growing realization among the political class that throwing money at automakers is difficult to reconcile from a ROI perspective.

I dont think Ford would let Mustang go, however owners of other Ford brands may concerned about spare parts if their brands were jettisoned in a savage restructuring of the Ford Motor company.

This weekends Barrons does a decent job of covering the latest news. What thoughts do other stangers have? I would be interested to find out.
