This was passed on to me by a good friend, who knows how I feel about the auto bailouts, and that I give Ford a lot of credit for not taking government money.
Apparently, I’m not alone. This is a Rasmussen report:
46% More Likely To Buy Ford ‘Cause It Didn’t Get A Bailout
Public opposition to the auto bailouts may translating into consumer buying decisions, with 46% of Americans now saying they are more likely to buy a car from Ford because it did not take government money to stay in business. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 13% say they are less likely to buy a Ford because the company didn’t receive a bailout, and 37% say it has no impact on their car buying.
Keep at it Ford. We’ll keep driving (or at least I will as soon as I get my truck).

I am thinking Saturn, since they were sold, they should not have any government money.
I come from a traditionally very anti-Ford family, but everyone has since decided they have to change their tune and will buy Ford in the future. That wasn’t easy for them
Maybe this will be the beginning of “reverse boycotting”. I too am considering a Ford truck now. If they would just do something about that annoying whine in their steering.
