I think YOU are missing the point.

For a grunt, making minimum wage throwing burgers together, its one thing. For the mill worker/auto plant guy, driving a taurus to a gm plant is one thing. He walks off with his 29k salary. When the CEO makes a point to talk about a car, as if it were the best in the world, drive one to work, then walk into his office into a major automotive manufacuriung as a CEO, it speaks volumes about the production choice. he didnt so much just blow it off as preference. I like a lot of cars. I didnt buy my supra just because i liked it. I can afford many cars, I just liked the perceived value in purchase. Its blatantly what he has done, and its a representation of current domestic automakers trends as of late. Produce things even their own wouldnt drive. Ive grown up with a bunch of people that work at dealers. They never own what they work on, unless it is a great deal. I guess just like any lucrative business, never buy what you sell

Im sure there are exceptions, perhaps youll have 15, just to spite. Nevertheless, i suppose we shall see if this exhibits a trend. Ford is producing some nice stuff right now.
