<Imagine what bad economic times, a strong dollar and high interest rates would have done<g>> Patience................ "Sales of Ford's market-leading F-series pickups were down almost 21 percent in September and have tumbled by 13 percent year to date. Excluding Ford's planned reduction in sales to rental car agencies, the automaker's year-to-date sales were still down almost 8 percent. The weaker sales results followed the late September resignation of Ford's North American sales and marketing chief, Cisco Codina, and come as the automaker gears up for a crucial round of contract talks with its main union. Ford has said it needs to slash its labor costs in order to emerge from negotiations with the United Auto Workers with a contract that allows it to compete with the likes of Toyota Motor Corp. (7203.T), which this year claimed Ford's long-held No. 2 spot in the U.S. market." tinyurl.com
