Automotive News - May 14, 2007 let's...assign preliminary grades, based on sales performance, to some of the new cars and trucks on the market for the 2007 model year... B+: The new Toyota Tundra http://snipurl.com/1l6yp receives a grade of B+. Its sales have increased since its February introduction, and the only thing that keeps it from an A is the fact that it has not yet achieved its nut of 16,667 deliveries a month. That's what it will take to reach Toyota's stated target of 200,000 a year. April was the new Tundra's best month, with 14,200 sales. That's something else for the Detroiters to worry about - as if they didn't have enough already. Sharing the B+ grade is the Ford Edge crossover http://snipurl.com/Ford_Edge - After four months, it was right on its goal of 100,000 a year. But why is the goal so miserly? Face it, neighbors: A 100,000-a-year seller isn't going to do much to save Ford Motor Co... |

If one adds the Edge number to the F150 number of around 900,000 that's over a million vehicles and a lot more than the Tundra and Camry combined total  mike |

Ford will have a hard time catching up to Toyota. But then again why would Ford want to emulate Toyota and make and sell under powered or over price cars and trucks in the US, when Ford already out sell Toyota? |
off them?
Gee, does the phrase, "Make a profit" mean anything to you?

Yeah, why would anyone want to sell overpriced cars and make more money off them? Gee, does the phrase, "Make a profit" mean anything to you? Jeff |
laugh.
No one that knows anything is laughing about their cars now.
I think the same thing will be true regarding their trucks in a few years.
History tends to repeat.
