Buick and the GM Expansion:

With the GM company suffering many damaging hits to their company name, and financial statistics, it is not surprising that they have had a lot of their sibling companies--like Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Saturn--die out and dry up before they were able to find something that could resolve the financial down-slope. The odd fact about these companies that have dried up is that they were the most popular and the most targeted for the younger crowd whereas the Buick company was more targeted for the older-type. Unlike the company's who were designed to target younger audiences, Buick has been doing much more of this lately with their new models giving many Concord Ford dealers, and Cincinnati Ford dealers a run for their money.

The Buick Enclave and the Buick Lacrosse are mostly responsible for attracting the younger buyers in trend-setting regions such as California. This in return has turned Buick into the fastest-growing major brand in the industry. Something that seems very surprising considering the fact that Buick was once among the GM brands that were going to be scrapped. Now after this sudden burst in popular vote, GM plans to double the number of models in the Buick line-up. Whether or not this will help the GM company continue to rise at a steady rate can not yet be decided. However, with Buick outselling many popular automaker brands like Lincoln and Lexus it is hard to get discouraged with the brand. After all, GM sure doesn't seem to be with their new Regal sedan that is coming out this month. With the Regal deemed to be smaller than the Lacrosse and targeted for their all-new younger buyers of their sports sedans.

As long as Buick sells continue to rise, and their customers continue to be consistently happy with what they're seeing and buying, it will most likely come to be a good compromise both for the sellers and the buyers.

GM, Out of Debt?

With GM's customers still reeling from the shock of their not-so-forgotten bail-out, it has not been surprising that the $52 million of government funding that has been pouring into the company without any known appearance of it receding anytime soon. However, once GM was reviewing their profits and losses' they came to the realization that they have just now, for the first time in three years, generated a profit. This seems to be a phenomenal feat for even Wall Street to believe. Yet with this little money scavenged together, it hasn't taken long for the government to be taking notice, or taking action.

While GM is still very dependent on their stocks and shareholders, it is almost apparent that their ability to make a little go a long way and some great service at dealer's such as Lawrenceburg Chevy, Sarasota Chevy, and Greenville Chevrolet, all of which have provided tremendous services to their company. The down-side to this may be that even though GM is now in the positive side, it still is going to take much more for them to get out of the negative with the government and tax-payer's alike.

The rugged truth behind it all is that the GM company is still in the air. Nothing can be done, and nothing can be said yet about the future of GM and what it may hold. Instead, we can only sit calmly and as patiently as possible, hoping--and sometimes praying--for the well-being of the company and that their future continues to be a bright one.

Nonetheless, even if this future is as bright as they may hope it to be, the U.S. government is definitely making their debt audible to the GM executives. The pressures on the GM company to launch a public stock offering has become monumental, and almost overwhelming for the struggling automotive company. The good news is, they have finally broke the water's surface. Whether or not the company goes right back under or soars out of the water altogether is ultimately up to the U.S. citizens of tomorrow and what exactly our economy supports. As for now, we will be watching closely to be sure that not only we, but also are most favorite cars survive through these hard times. 

Automakers' Big U-Turn

Ford Company's Current Solid Presence in the Automotive Market

With many United States Automotive companies steadily rising and falling, it is obvious that a good bit of them do not carry the elite caliber that the Ford Automotive Company has built in the coming years since Henry Ford's creation of the continuous automobile model types. Henry Ford has now come and gone, yet his company continues to grow, and so does the inventory and loyal customers that the Ford company seems to consume. Ranging from dealers with names like Doug Henry, or dealers covering territories with the expansion of New Hampshire, the United States Automotive Company have definitely kept their head above the water, and have helped their branches stay afloat in the process.

Known to be the second-largest U.S. automaker, it is quite obvious that the Ford Company has made, and kept a stable enough relationship for the chief executive of the Ford company to tell its shareholders that the company will see "continuing improvement" into 2011. The chief executive did not comment on when the company would be reinstating a dividend. Nonetheless, commenting on how the company expects to be "solidly profitable" in 2010 as opposed to the long-shot horizon they were shooting for in 2011, seems to be reason enough to find comfortable solace in the Ford Company stock-market family.

Not only will the improving automotive economy help the Ford Company in the coming years, but also too the outstanding relationship, and generation-friendly models that they continue to come out with, will help them as well. The truth still stands to be, whether the future holds a tremendous series of down-turns or profitable funds for the Ford company, they're going to try the best they can, and deliver the best they can--guaranteed. Driven with the customer in mind, Ford has continuously avoided upping their sales, and instead has done some back-tracking through deep-restructuring and development of their new products and models, which in-turn seems to have worked even better for their reputation and their credibility.

The object of the consumer's, and stockholders heart seems to be safe in the Ford company's hands. Whether or not they will shame us, or make us the proudest investors to be--only time will tell. As for now, the consumers and shareholders of the Ford company continue to bask in the warm sunlight they are providing for us. For the future, we will only hope for the best, and expect the worst.
