Dealers in my neck of the woods are also giving huge discounts on the all new rams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Ford Gets $5.9 Billion Government Loan DEARBORN, Mich. – The Energy Department said Tuesday it would lend $5.9 billion to Ford Motor Co. and provide about $2.1 billion in loans to Nissan Motor Co. and Tesla Motors Inc., making the three automakers the first beneficiaries of a $25 billion fund to develop fuel-efficient vehicles. Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced the loan recipients at Ford's Research and Innovation Center in Dearborn. The loans to Ford will help the company upgrade factories in five Midwest states to produce 13 fuel-efficient vehicles. Nissan was receiving $1.6 billion to retool its plant in Smyrna, Tenn., to build advanced vehicles and build a battery manufacturing facility. Tesla would get $465 million in loans to build electric vehicles and electric drive powertrains in California. The loans were designed to help auto manufacturers meet new fuel-efficiency standards of at least 35 mpg by 2020, a 40 percent increase over current standards. "These loans will help the auto industry meet and even exceed the president's tough fuel standards," Chu said. "This is part of President Obama's commitment to a new energy strategy for America. ... This means the most fuel-efficient cars in the world must be made right here in America." Dozens of auto companies, suppliers and battery makers have sought a total of $38 billion from the loan program, which was created last year to provide low-interest loans to car companies and suppliers retool their facilities to develop green vehicles and components such as advanced batteries. Ford had been seeking about $5 billion in loans by 2011 and a total of $11 billion from the program to invest $14 billion in advanced technologies over the next seven years. The company said it will transform plants in Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, and Ohio. Ford CEO Alan Mulally said in an interview with The Associated Press that the department approved the company's entire proposal through 2011 and it would help Ford meet the new fuel efficiency standards. "This is a tremendous development," Mulally said. He said the loans would help Ford further its strategy to build a wide range of fuel-efficient cars. "We want to be in every market segment in the U.S.," Mulally said. "Every year forever we want to continue to improve fuel efficiency." Ford expects to begin repaying the loans in 2012, with an interest rate based on the current U.S. Treasury rate hovering between 3 and 4 percent, said Ford spokesman Mike Moran. "If it were at market rates it would be in the double digits," he said. "That's a huge thing for us." https://www.foxnews.com/story/ford-gets-5-9-billion-government-loan Report: Ford Took Federal Funds, Too By David Thomas December 2, 2010 https://www.cars.com/articles/2010/12/report-ford-took-federal-funds-too/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
