Ford gets some stones

As The New York Times chronicles the collapse of Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F), the company has decided it is tired of having sand kicked in its face by Honda (NYSE:HMC) and Toyota (ADR)(NYSE:TM)

The U.S. car company will begin advertising its Fusion model as a direct and better car than its competition, the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. Both Japanese models outsell the Fusion.

Ford's vehicle sales fell almost 8% in the U.S. during 2006.

Ford clearly wants to part with its sissy boy image and show that it is not going to be pounded to a pulp by its Japanese competitors. Not, at least, without a fight.

It may even work.
