Wow

I can't believe that Ford posted almost a billion dollar profit in the third quarter.  They say it is due to the cash for clunkers and cutting costs, as well as gains of the U.S market share.  It seems that this is an amazing and almost miraculous turn around for the automaker.  It seems that if Ford would have started cutting costs marginally in the past, then they may have not had the problems that they faced earlier in the year.  What do you think?
