Senator calls for 50-mpg mandate for Detroit to receive aid…

November 18, 2008

From Autoblog:

“Thick and fast.” That’s the phrase that describes the opinions, pleas, advice, denunciations, and WTF? going on around the U.S. auto industry right now. Enter Congress, which is trying to figure out how to give Detroit automakers the $25 billion they were promised a few months ago. Congressmen are sounding off almost daily on what kinds of stipulations they want to attach to the loan/bailout/whatever you want to call it – and that’s just the ones who would vote for it at all.

Ford to introduce emplyee pricing…

November 16, 2008

In a last minute move to clear all ‘08-plated stock, Ford is implementing an employee pricing scheme for private customers. This move has been popular & successful amongst othe automakers in the U.S, so lets hope Ford get the same luck. The deal is expected to start November 19th & go through to January 2009. In addition to this offer, buyers may also save an extra dollop of cash on some models to help move the last of the ’08s, though the brand-new 2009 F-150 pickup truck will not be part of the promotion.
