Ford and GM have been dead money for years, so that probability calculator might not be too far off for Ford. Their lineup isn't that impressive and quality is anything but job one.

Ford's odds of distress is less than 3% at the present time. It is unlikely to undergo any financial crunch in the next 24 months.www.macroaxis.com
Lets not get carried away, the Mach E is destined for total failure and the lightning is not far behind, neither one of them is a good vehicle and the Mach E is uglier than sin itself on top of it. Ford is prime for a takeover if things keep going the way they have been IMO.
At best, electric drive trains for pickups seems like a bad combination, unless you are a pickup fan boy. Range, especially with any load, has to be horrid. Heck, somebody please explain to me the business logic behind the new Hummer!
Seems like Ford is good at making a lot of epic mistakes.
Pretty hard to argue with this one... Remember the Cadillac 8-6-4 ? That shamed the once great Cadillac.

Every car maker is saying the same thing. Tesla's modern factories, direct sales (no dealerships) and vertical integration allow for higher margins. That's leverage.Ford CEO Says EV Price Cuts Are "A Worrying Trend"
"There's a limit to how far we'll go," Jim Farley said referring to Ford cutting prices on EVs that compete with Tesla products.
Ford CEO Says EV Price Cuts Are "A Worrying Trend"
Jim Farley said "the resale value for people who bought at higher prices is awful," and that's something they never forget.
Absolutely horrible, then came the HT (High Technology ) engines. They even had the balls to put one of these pieces of crap into their 50K halo car of the time which was a lot of wood at the time. Then came the Cimmeron, V6 engines in the full size cars, etc.
As a 65 thru 67 GTO lover, I cried when Pontiac died. Even though the smoggers ruined so many American cars.
When everything became a chevy it was over.
It don't get much better. I love Pontiacs. That's a beautiful engine. 66 was the last year of the tri power. 67 used the 400 Q-Jet, I believe. Earlier 4 BBL used the AFB. My 65 4-4-2 uses the 4-Jet.
V8-6-4 was a POS, how about when GM tried to make a diesel out of the 350?
That was an Oldsey. Their heads were not screwed on to tight.
A dear friend of who sadly passed away young was a priest who was also car nut that drove a 69 grand Prix with a 428 HO that was well worked over. That thing was a beast for a car that size. Just talking about Pontiacs reminded me of him, he was one of the guys, one day he came to the garage on Friday and me and the 2 other guys were drinking beer, he said you guys are real heathens, where is the beer. Fond memories.
