Ford isn't tarnishing the Explorer or Taurus name. In fact they are generating great
interest.

Bull. I would be mighty pissed if I just spend $45K on a Taurus just to have my local police drive the same car for $25K. Ditto for the Explorer. Ford already ruined the Taurus name once. That is why it was replaced with the Fusion. And now, all of Ford's attempts to take the Taurus upmarket are futile because theya re going to be whoring them out to fleets.

If anything GM is whoring themselves out in typical fashion.

Um........no, not even close. That is the whole purpose of this Chevy Vue. They are taking machines that they just had laying around and putting them to good use by making a fleet only SUV...thereby saving the other retail marques from the terrible stigma that gets affixed to fleet cars.

And like I said above, GM is producing this Vue for PENNIES on the dollar. It is costing them virtually nothing to make this Vue 2.0. So even at fleet prices, they will make a killing.

GM is doing what Ford should be doing.

Not staring anything but Ford is not the one that needed a bail out... Just sayin.
Ford is doing a great job! They are moving away from the idea that you need to offer 4 different cars on the same platform. That spreads the sales to thin. The taurus was replaced by the Five Hundred which was a nice car. It did not catch on and the changed the name back to Taurus. I think it was a wise move. It reset the clock to make people forget the Taurus from the 90's and early 2000's that were very bland and not terribly reliable. The new Taurus is a car that stands out and has more class than the old cars.

As for the Vue. It's not my style but it is a nice ride. I'm sure they will have good sales. That being said i'm sure that the rising sale of these will result in lower sales for the nox.

Not starting anything but Wendy's is doing what burger king should be doing. I mean having a ginger lady as a mascot instead of some goofy looking dude and all. Just sayin.
