This is sheep station territory.
Ford have a domiant market position in the US and should defend it. Their best defence is to prove GM wrong and make them publically retract their claims. Doing this is going to be challenging but I hope they do. I'm with Jim Farley on this one.

For a company that was invested heavily in the porn industry (not joking), nothing surprises me about them. Very low ethics.
