Well, I did it. I bought a Ford today. I have been increasingly worried about whether the Obamunists were going to guarantee my extended warranty on the Denali, so I relied on Obamalogic and decided that since I am "rich" and have "hit life's lottery"; and work for a living - probably not.
So - I started looking around to see if there were deals to be had. GM said "sorry - your truck isn't worth 1/3 of what we soaked you for 18 months ago". Any wonder why they're in the sh*t? Ford, on the other hand, said "let's see what we can do". Ironic - the one company that didn't reach into my pocket overtly via a federal proxy was the only one willing to sell me a vehicle. Does it really take an entire federal government to figure out what's wrong here?
Well, the incentives, combined with my company's partnership with Ford, combined with an aggressive dealer - it all came together, and I now have a brand spankin' new redneck wet dream.
I am absolutely astonished at the fit & finish - ride quality and overall just niceness of this vehicle. It doesn't have the ride quality of the Denali - but will tow a house...
I will let you know (for those who are still reading) how it goes... For me - I truly hope Fiat dismantles that piece of crap they just bought, and GM can reinvent anything they want - but a bad business model will STILL be a bad business model.

18 months between cars? You must have been getting the shakes from withdrawal.
Congrats. Were the incentives as advertised? It sure seems like things are going for about half the grotesquely inflated MSRP these days.
I'm guessing that that rig will also out-tow the Carerra? (and carry more kids)
