sad to hear it. Competition is always good because it makes everybody work harder to get that edge. Whenever somebody like Ford bails (with a seemingly infinite supply of funds from all of thier income producing projects), it only makes it easier for the others. And in this case, has potential to actually hurt Ford b/c they could put the money in and just use the results more wisely to appeal to thier target market and find out what works in thier platforms and what doesn't.
