"Rising gasoline prices have knocked Ford's F-series pickup out of its longstanding spot as the top-selling U.S. vehicle. It was beaten in May by the Honda Civic and Accord and by the Toyota Corolla and Camry."



wow ford must be crying

Ford may not be crying...but the 3000+ white-collar workers they laid-off probably are!

Re: Canton, Miss. plant to switch to car production

Yep, good fuel efficient cars are the way to go, especially 4-cylinder Altima's. At least it's not really costing us anything to move about 1 shift's worth of truck system into Altima and other support areas, unlike some of the other companies trying to adjust and make changes. I'm sure that it will cost Toyota some time and money to add Camry production to their truck plant in Indiana. Since we can pull the trigger much quicker in Canton, this should help us gain more ground in market share while everyone else is still scrambling trying to figure out how to pump out more of the fuel efficient vehicles.
