Ironically they're pretty non-American now. They're pushing tiny turbo engines and low displacement V8's. That's pretty unpatriotic imo.

With the EPA nonsense going away, do you think we'll have high horsepower big displacement fun vehicles again? Something like a 2.8L 4cyl AWD fiesta, a slightly larger TTV6 Focus, and holyshit a Taurus or Fusion again?

I'd like to speak with Henry Ford's supervisor. I'd like a hot hatch with a twin turbo V6, AWD, 2 doors. I want it completely impractical as a daily driver and as fast as a mustang in a straight line.

No you Fool! Think of the consequences! If you make a smaller car as fast as the mustang, the mustang will get faster still! And then the small car gets faster in turn!
The feedback loop would cause unimaginable destruction and the end of motor vehicles as we know it! Think man, think!

Ford never said that Queen Victoria was the inspiration for the name. Many attribute the name to the Victoria carriage but Ford never said that either. All that's known for sure is they had a Crown Victoria trim on the mid-Fifties Fairlane which referred to the stainless "tiara" on the roof and the 1980-newer versions refer to that due to their stainless trim across the roof.

Totals based on
>Training reimbursements
>Tax Credits & Rebates
>Property tax abatement
>Federal grants
>State or local grants
So when theres a gay "training" campaign mandated and paid by the government thats a subsidy?
So when they're taking advantage of the tax code (the law) thats a subsidy?
So when they are offered abatements on property taxes to build a billion dollar facility and employ hundreds or thousands of workers, thats a subsidy?
So when the feds have progrums to influence industry, thats a subsidy?
The only subsidies I'm seeing on this is state or local grants which again, are to incentivize companies to spend billions and hire thousands is somehow a bad thing?

Pull your head out of your ass and realize tax breaks (taxes are too fucking high) aren't subsidies. Thats just tax code. The government didn't give Ford $7.7B in cash because their trucks are so good. They "gave" them (on average) of $308,000,000 per year. 308 million for Ford is probably what they spend on electricity at 2 of their assembly lines per year. And again, that wasn't an average of $308million in cash being given to them, it was often just tax rebates. So if we're looking at this objectively, most of that is just a tax savings that required 50x in spending on Ford's behalf to be eligible for those tax savings.

Now do the inverse: how much in taxes does Ford pay per year. Hint; as little as possible because thats following our extra gay tax laws that you're conflating with free government money.

Disingenuous infographs, every company takes advantage of US tax laws to claim a loss on a section of the business, and technically that counts against taxes they otherwise would have to pay. Anon is mad because they have good accountants and doesn't know how businesses and profits work.

Case in point, Chrysler had several brands competing against each other as did GM and Ford. What a waste of time making products to compete with your own lineup, PLUS every other car in that segment.

Ford is the worst american brand because they're actually owned by Israelis who engage in racebaiting astroturfing viral marketing, which is why you'll hear people on the internet often seething about Dodge Bros. vs Henry Ford as if on cue, as the landmark decision of that case specifically prevented the self-hating Jew Ford from engaging in his planned kikery of redistributing investment dividends to random people in his factory who were not investors.

now a Ford shill will post the funny late '20s Dodge logo some asshat board member used to troll the piss out of Henry over 12 years after the Dodge brothers both died. Come on Bart, post the image. we're all waiting.
