I wonder how many of those vehicles in the "domestic lot" are made in Canada and Mexico.

And Korea, in GM's case...

You bet your *** if I was CEO of Ford Motor Company that I would drive a Ford... Him driving anything else sends a discouraging message throughout the entire organization. I'm not saying I wouldn't have OTHER, BETTER cars, but I would absolutely try to be seen as much as possible in my Ford (GT, that is...

Sad.

If the LS owns the entire Lincoln lineup, who is stealing LS market share and causing it to drop 25 % from prior year?

Who is beating both out of sales? It's maybe those "rascals" at MB if Lincoln saw no growth though haven't see December and final year end sales figures on Lincoln or MB yet.

The LS 430 was on its last legs this year until October when the LS 460 came out, that's why you see the large drop this year.

Haha Mr. Mulally will have to suffer without his LS 460 L with Exec Class Seating Package!!!
