Here you go: Improvements in overall quality (they are already doing great - they beat industry leader Toyota last year) and some on their new in-car technologies: http://www.michronicleonline.com/articlelive/articles/3623/1/SOMETHING-TO-CELEBRATE/Page1.html Huge quality improvements in compact class: http://blog.cleveland.com/business/2008/08/ford_promises_massive_quality.html How they are doing in the current financial mess: http://money.cnn.com/2009/03/05/news/companies/breaking_views.breakingviews/ Ford's CEO on the future of the company (hybrids, electric cars): http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2009/03/ceo-says-electric-vehicles-are-fords-future.html Ford is the only one of the Big 3 that didn't take any government money. They had already leased all their assets before the market tanked (so they got a good price for them) so they could have cash to do their huge restructuring project. They have plans for an electric commercial van coming out in 2010, an electric compact in 2011, and a plug-in hybrid to compete with the Chevy Volt in 2012.
