Sure, there is probably a little bit of luck involved but when is that not the case? They have done a much better job of getting their world in order the last few years. I will say this, though, if I was to buy a new car today I would seriously consider a Ford. I bought my last new car almost 5 years ago and I did not even get past their web site when I was looking at cars. Right now I'd consider a couple of their smaller cars if I were in the market for something smaller or maybe a smallish cross-over type vehicle. That is not luck. They have really improved their cars over the last few years. I rented an Edge last time I was in Denver and was pretty impressed by how well it handled and the fuel mileage it got. Again, that is not luck, either. I have been in recent Chryslers and GMs and can't stand them one bit. They just make bad cars and deserve to go away. I have a feeling them not taking/asking for money has more to do with the loan covenants/restrictions than anything else, however.
