Ford has definitely done a good job of making themselves a viable company. And have done so with some pretty well placed vehicles.

The Escape is a great small SUV that I think a lot of people have come around to as it is small but still ans SUV, so it gets the soccer moms who don't want something huge.

They've got a freat handle on the semi luxury/sports car angle with the Mustang, which I think they've done a great job with in the last few years.

And of course they pretty much are the workhorse of work trucks. People can go on all they like about how GMC or Dodges, are better trucks, or how Tundras are great (I myself drive a Tacoma, so I'm not being a homer), but the fact of the matter is, the F series trucks are pretty much the weapon of choice for anyone who has a job where they are on crappy/non-existant roads a lot. That's pretty much why every 5000 person oil town in Alberta has a Ford dealership.

I'm glad there is at least one American car company who can run their business half decently. Let's just hope they can keep it up for the long haul.
