Don't get me wrong, I loved the car itself and I'd buy it back if they had a plug-in hybrid version of it. Well, that and parking in San Francisco is really tough and the mass transit is great. :) I finally sold my Ford Focus (my first new car bought with money from my first real job) because it felt icky to drive it.

I currently have a 96 F150, a 86 Cougar XR7, and a 92 Escort. I have been wanting to buy something more responsible to replace the Escort for about 5 years now and am done waiting. Within the next 3 months plan on buying a Prius. Sorry Ford, I am done waiting on you and will probably sell the mint condition Cougar soon to boot.

I do beleive, though, that ordinary people can triumph over giant corporations. I'm trying to something about global warming in my state of Oregon, on my website: www.oregonsustainability.blogspot.com. I think the site's goals are pretty consistent with what RAN would like to accomplish. The automobile and fossil fuel industries are wrecking the planet.

Hopefully he can reverse course and avert disaster by steering Ford in the direction of sustainable jobs and clean, green vehicles. Otherwise Ford will likely face endless turbulence in the coming years and eventually become obsolete in the auto market due to its inability to innovate.
