Ford Motor Co. posted a surprise $997 million net profit in the third quarter and boosted cash reserves while saying it will be “solidly profitable” in 2011. Ford's pre-tax operating profit of $1.1 billion marked its first quarter in the black on that basis since early 2008. Ford finished the quarter with $23.8 billion in automotive cash, up $2.8 billion from the end of June. 7:20 am U.S. ET | Nov. 2 | UPDATED: 11/2/09 4:22 p.m. ET Comments [34] | Recommended [4]

I agree with you Mack, don't burn your bridges and all that. Give due credit. However Ford must be doing something right! On a side, have you seen the latest (newest, first, whatever) Fiat/Chryslers? OMG! Can you say BUTT UGLY? Complete with the Fiat oval grille and all! I'll try to find a link. Jim

Jim, you hit that nail right on the head!!! BUTT UGLY for sure!!!!!!!

Jim Wahl · 11-02-2009, 08:03 PM

Yeah, I hope I never see one of those driving past me. I might have to avert my eyes causing a crash! Jim

Here's a link to the new grille. http://www.themotorreport.com.au/454...ide-us-report/ Does that look like a grille you would see in a Pro Stocker? I also read that Obama has told Fiat to drop the "Dodge" name. The trucks will be called "Chrysler Ram 2500" etc.Jeep will remain and will be the only brand sold out of North America. Sad times. Jim

Jim,

The white car with the lemon grill in the article is an Alfa Romeo that's sold in Europe. No one but foreign countries makes cars in the US anymore! Most of the Big 3 make all their trucks outside the country and most of the cars made here are made with foreign parts.

It's a sad state!
