Cause they mortgaged the whole company to give themselves money because as of 2 years ago, they were dead in the water with the oldest and worst line up of teh Big 3.
A Fusion that lacked every way possible, the Focus which cost Ford more money to redesign then it would have to retool the plants to make the Euro Focus here in the US, a HUGE truck line up that lacked decent powertrains, The Ford 500/Taurus which was uglier then ever. Crown Vic fleet special, not to mention the disaster of Linc and Merc lines.
Ford wasnt spending money, GM was, and Chrysler was lost in the woods. The music stopped, and at that point we saw who was caught with thier pants down.
Ford's desperate attempt at piling up cash was a poor move 2 years ago, but somehow they come out looking like gold.
The only reason GM went to the goverment for cash is because the banks werent giving it out
