[QUOTE="thomas91169, post: 5642704, member: 40530"] its kinda what happens when, as a company, you stop trying to be better because you need to get to where the big three are, and once you are there youre on top looking down and everyone says youre the best, then you get a big head ego and just assume anything you do from then on will always be the best. they forget once youre at the top of your game, you have nowhere to go but down. IMO i think Nissan can be the next to grab the top spot, IMO their vehicles are some of the best bang for the buck as far as new cars go, their vehicles in every category are, IMO, better than the competition. 350Z is a great little car, the Altima and Maxima's are very stout for the price (and are no slouch when compared to the upper trim levels of their competition). Ford needs more marketing and better marketing. Mike Rowe however is an excellent voice for Ford, and will help win back the average american working family to at least walk back onto a Ford dealership, however IMO alot of the blame can also rest on dealerships. while all the other dealers are offering great incentives, i dont ever see anything but retarded markups on Ford's lots, most other dealers you can talk them down to MSRP or under (MSRP is not the price the dealer bought the car for btw), Ford guys laugh when you ask for even MSRP. not good business, they are into moving less cars at higher markups, which means they sell less quantity, and that hurts the manufacturer, whereas a dealership that sells more quantity is constantly ordering more to replenish, which means the manufacturer makes more units and makes money.
