I thought the cougar was a good seller? I see so many of those things around, a lot with body kits. The body kits make me . Some look so silly.

The Escort was new design and I thought that this was a high seller!

Damn, I passed by the plant in Canada last week, it stretched along the highway as far as my eyes could see, HUGE!

Yup. SUV owners who can't keep their tires inflated properly or drive them properly killed Ford's profits last year.

The focus replaces the escort. The LS occupies the place that the continental had.

I thought that focus has aleardy replaced the escort.

The Focus is not terminated. That is good.

Latest is 35,000 jobs and 5 plants.

The job cuts are surprising, but the vehicle ones aren't.

Escort has been replaced. The Cougar doesn't sell well except to women. The Villager was being axed as Nissan goes with a new Minivan of their own (Villager/Quest were twins).

The Continental cut is a bit surprising after the money they put into the Conty show car this year.

I thought their big deal this year was the Towncar concept... Did I miss the story on a new Continental?

The Cougar? I actually liked that car... Cheap, moderately powerful...Good for a kid.
