Ford - Dodge - Chevy

As many of you know I am a hard-core FORD guy. My dream vehicle is the one I own (early Ford Bronco). Sure a Ford GT would be fun and all but its not something I would want to own.

As I think about the current American car manufactures I find something very interesting. Chrysler/Dodge has been leading the way for the last several years as far as developing new and inovative cars and trucks. They came up with the mini-van with the Caravan. They created an new sports car a few years ago that has become a classic - the viper. They created the big truck fenom with the larger sized Ram Truck about 10 years ago, Ford followed and finally Chevy has too. Dodge created a good looking SUV in the Durango and their new van the Sprinter in conjunction with Frieghtliner is redefining the full-sized van. Chrysler/ Dodge is the most innovative American car manufacturer.

All this said, Chrysler/Dodge is still not making money and Ford still sells many more full-sized trucks and SUVs. Ford sold over 950,000 p/u trucks last year. That is almost a million new trucks! Even if they have followed Dodge some of the the time with their truck design, they have improved the looks of the Dodge trucks in my opinion. The new F150 is cool looking (the Tonka Truck look).

Another plug for Ford is the new Ford GT. There is not a cooler looking (nor faster) sports car out there. It is a piece of art and a machine check out.

So where does this put Chevy? Some of you say, "well they have the corvette." Yeah, so what. Nothing new. Nothing to note. Their new trucks are ugly. Think Avalanche. There is the SSR, but it really only looks good from certain angles.

So to you who vandalized my office...Chevy sucks rotten carrots.
