Wow, never heard of this before. some people are so stupid. ford is a company trying to make money. who are you to tell them who to market to? if i was a business owner, i would try to sell my product to everyone. im sure ford donates to several “straight” charities too. you dont see gay people getting upset. i bet they advertise to black people but you dont see white people getting upset.

the reason most people have never heard of this is because it had no impact on ford. listen, the media loves bashing ford and the domestic automakers, while praising imports. the media would have jumped on this if it was a big deal. fact is, ford has been steadily improving products, while minimizing its losses. yes, ford still has losses every year, but this year they only lost half as much as they did the year before. and during those 2 years, i wonder how many people in the afa bought volvos, lincolns, mercuries, mazdas, land rovers, jaguars, or aston martins. i would be willing to bet that the majority of the people in afa didnt even know ford owned those other car companies, and i would even bet that a percentage of the afa members who actually bought a car in that time frame bought a car from one of those companies and was supporting ford without even knowing it lol!
