I heard its becoming a problem. I dunno if its an oil problem, or a metal problem.

It is one in the same. Whatever could be said about GM, could be said about Ford. Yes, Ford was in a better spot come late 08 then GM was, but GM was in a better spot then Ford was in 06. Everyone, like normal, worries about the now, and not the long term.
The reason GM went to the government was not because people didn't want to buy their cars, its because banks could no longer loan money. Hell, Ford had to put up the whole company in order to get enough funds to stay alive, and still ended up taking 6 billion from the government!
Im not trying to say that GM comes out clean in any of this, but I dont think Ford gets a pass at anything. For any of the automakers to say that they built a SINGLE car in America without tax-payer dollars involved is the most ignorant statement in the history of the automobile. At least with GM, the government could actually see a ROI.

Again, GM= Bad, Ford= God. I get it. GM and Ford are both on a current product offensive, with GM launching a few more cars then Ford.
Ford has right now, the Fiesta, Explorer (that was shown yesterday) and the new Focus.
GM will be launching a lot of new cars, Regal and 2 more variants, Cruze, Volt, XTS, refreshed pick ups and SUV's, and will probably be showing a new Malibu in detroit.
The only one still in question is Chrysler. So far they have the new Grand Cherokee, but the new 2nd gen 300 and Charger will be a good test. I hope they have a better mid-sizer this time around. The Sebring and Avenger are both straight-to-Avis special
