		<description>Hi Mr Mulally my name is Britne Baumgartner and my family has been loyal Ford consumers our whole lives. My father was a very proud employee for over 40 years he passed away February 16 very suddenly. After his death we had planned to buy a truck for my husband and i was very dissappointed to learn that because my mother had passed away 2 years prior we were not eligable for the discount. My father poured his heart and soul into this company and he made sure we all drove a Ford. I believe the company should honor the discount we have all been given for years. I was very disappointed in Ford. Can you help me?</description>

		<description>I recently chose to lease a Lincoln MKS (March 23, 2009).  I inquired about an incentive about switching from a Chrysler to Ford (Lincoln) and was told there weren&#039;t any at the time. My lease wasn&#039;t up until April 21, 2009, however the GM @ Lincoln convinced me that the residual rates would go down after the 1st quarter and suggested that I lease 1 month early.  However, Ford is now offering the &quot;conquest cash&quot; incentive of $1000 as of April through July.  Is it possible I could qualify for that incentive considering I was planning on turning in my Chrysler Lease on its due date of April, 21, but was directed to do so earlier?  I can send you a copy of my Chrysler Lease agreement. Thanks. Frank Baccare</description>

		<description>When ford going to bring the mondeo to America, i would love to buy one. I&#039;m looking for an attractive family sedan , if ford would bring it here it would be the best looking car in it&#039;s class. I knlow someone told me at ford that i should look at the taurus but unfortunately taurus does not come with a manual transmission which makes me don&#039;t want to buy it . But i can promise if ford will make the mondeo available in this side of the pond i would be the one to pre order one</description>

		<description>Your foresight to create liquidity by leveraging Ford&#039;s assets was brillant, enabling the Company to maintain their product development. However, the current retail financing climate has an adverse effect on new vehicle sales.  How will Ford&#039;s position themselves in the future to address the retail financing of vehicles? Do you see a increase or reduction in manufacturer&#039;s incentives and rebates since these incentives affect residual values?</description>
