As part of their restructuring plans for the future, ford is starting to get its shit together. They have just anounced, (in front of 500 employees), a vision to have an eletric Car, en masse, for 2010. This new vehicle will be able to travel 100 miles w/o any gas. AWESOME!
Join me over the jump for the about time article:
Ok, ok, we all know Ford was in bed with 'big oil,' maybe even as recently as a few years ago(Ford could have had an electric car sometime ago, if it were not for 'big oil' lobbying against it). But now Ford seems to be getting back their mojo. They are not only going to have new Hybrid's, but also hire alot more people and open new Plant's. They will combine Plant's that already exist and then hire new employees for these Plant's in Michigan. Governor Granholm was present during today's anoucement, here is the article: ENJOY!!!

Also, if you do buy this Car, be sure to ask for your 7500 dollar tax credit the Obama adminstration enacted(for new hybrids or green cars).
