“Ford has been doing a good job with some of its recent seat designs such as those in the Freestyle SUV and Five Hundred sedan. But the new Ranger head restraint is more than three inches below the top of the head of an average-size man. This means it won't begin to provide adequate protection for many taller people in rear-end crashes. It's puzzling why Ford decided that buyers of the new Ranger should get less protection against whiplash than people in some of its other vehicles.”

“Ford has done a good job of designing its newest vehicles to better protect occupants in frontal crashes.”
“GM did an outstanding job drafting the Ford campaign by buying 'Kermit' as a keyword to promote its own hybrid campaign.”
Peter Hershberg
“An American can have a Ford in any color so long as its black.”
Henry Ford
“Ford also standardized on HP for its desktops.”

“In recent months, both General Motors and Ford have announced plans to close numerous facilities, eliminating roughly 2.4 million units of North American capacity through 2008. We estimate that once these restructuring initiatives are complete, North American capacity for the 'traditional' Big Three will likely drop below 10 million units, down from over 12.5 million in 2005.”
Carlos Gomes
“That said, we continue to favor GM over Ford due to the former's more favorable 2006 product cycle and its more aggressive restructuring approach.”
