| Auto Stock #1: Ford Motor Co. (F) - Bloggingstocks.com Posted: 16 Jan 2010 08:00 AM PST
 Ford Motor Co. (F) has turned over a new leaf in 2010, starting this year with a heck of a lot more promise than the last. Last weekend, Ford nabbed the North American Car of the Year honors at the Detroit auto show for its Fusion hybrid -- and quickly followed that up with the Truck of the Year award for its European-styled Transit Connect van. All this on the heels of impressive December sales numbers.
Ford reported an increase of 32% in its sales for December compared to last year, while GM and Chrysler saw significant drops. What's more, auto sales in general are growing. The final figure of about 1 million vehicles sold in December marks the second-best month of 2009 after August, showing that the industry is looking up for 2010. Not bad, considering at this time last year we were talking about the likelihood of bailouts and bankruptcy for the members of the Big 3. But in stark contrast to General Motors and Chrysler, Ford has risen to the occasion and emerged from the recession stronger than ever before.
The third quarter marked Ford's first quarterly profit since the beginning of 2008, and the company has consistently blown away Wall Street's pessimistic forecasts for each of the past three quarters. The naysayers may be saying that consumer spending remains relatively weak, and that Ford shares will continue to suffer, but don't believe it.
As first-quarter earnings creep up on us, I expect Ford to add to its current momentum. Don't call it a comeback yet, but it's reasonable to expect Ford to not just regain its own leadership position in the auto industry but perhaps even surpass its previous success in the months ahead.
At the time of this writing, Louis Navellier owned shares of Ford in personal or client portfolios.

| Auto show opens to public - Oakland Press Posted: 16 Jan 2010 05:22 AM PST By JOSEPH SZCZESNY
Of The Oakland Press 
The Associated Press/PAUL SANCYA The North American International Auto Show opens its doors to the public today with some dazzling displays and a full array of new vehicles and concept cars.
General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler Group all have redesigned their displays to emphasize vehicles currently in the showroom.
With four brands eliminated during the company's reorganization, GM has focused its resources on its Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC brands.
Among the new GM cars on display are the 2011 CTS-V Coupe, combining the CTS Coupe's dramatic design with a 556-horsepower supercharged V-8 engine.
"The CTS-V Coupe marries our most potent and sophisticated technology with our most dramatic production design," said Bryan Nesbitt, Cadillac general manager.
"This combination of visual and technical attributes is designed to create a very compelling choice for luxury sports car consumers."
Also tucked away in the GM display is the Chevrolet Aveo RS, a prototype of the new small car GM will begin building next year at its Or ion Township assembly plant.
Models pose at the CT&T electronic car exhibit area at the North American International Auto Show. The show, which has been open to the media, opens its doors to the public today through Jan. 24.
On display in the Ford exhibit is the 2012 Ford Focus. The next-generation Ford Focus was named "Most Significant" vehicle in this year's show by the writers of AutoWeek Magazine and autoweek.com.
Ford, which has always had one of the largest displays in the show, includes choreographed assembly line robots, which help bring Ford innovation to life and demonstrate the precision engineering that ensures Ford EcoBoost engines deliver greater power and consume less gas.
Visitors can try Ford's selfparking cars, experiencing how "Active Park Assist" can parallel park a vehicle without a human hand touching the steering wheel.
"This is Ford's biggest — and most complex and engaging — environment ever," said Paul Martin, creative leader for Imagination, the company that designed the display.
"It's been a year in the planning, and we've drawn on Imagination's staff around the world to create the 24 all-new interactive experiences, and ensure that visitors want to spend a lot of time with Ford," he said.
Chrysler's display also has been given a fresh look for this year's auto show.
Ralph Gilles, Chrysler vice president of design, said the new display represents a shift in strategy.
In the past, Chrysler has emphasized flashy concept cars during the auto show. "This year, the company is putting the emphasis on vehicles that are in the showrooms now," he said.
Thus, the display is full of minivans, trucks and Jeep vehicles.
One big difference is that the Chrysler display also includes vehicles from Fiat, such as the subcompact Fiat 500, which is slated to go on sale at Chrysler dealerships by the end of the year.
Ferrari and Maserati also have displays inside the Chrysler area, underscoring the depth and breadth of the new Fiat-Chrysler alliance.
Entering its 22nd year as an international event, the North American International Auto Show is among the most prestigious auto shows in the world and is one of the largest media events in North America.
The NAIAS is the only auto show in the United States to earn an annual distinguished sanction of the "Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles," a Paris-based alliance of automotive trade associations and manufacturers from around the world.
The domestic manufacturers aren't the only ones showing cars. The European carmakers have a full array of displays.
Volkswagen of America Inc. is proud to announce its latest concept. The New Compact Coupe was named the "Best Concept" by AutoWeek, and the new Audi A8 won the annual "Eyes On Design" prize for the best production car in the show.
Mercedes-Benz, Honda, BMW, Hyundai, Kia, Subaru and Mazda also have mounted impressive displays.
Organizers of the auto show are offering park and ride options to Cobo Center.
Hosted by Bianco Tours & Transportation, the shuttle service will offer luxury coaches and be available at the Detroit Zoo and The Henry Ford at Greenfield Village.
In addition, a free shuttle will travel between the GM Renaissance Center and Cobo Center daily during the public viewing days, today through Jan. 24.
Minibuses labeled "Auto Show Shuttle" will circle continuously between the two sites, and guests can board the buses at the GM surface lot at St. Antoine and Atwater streets and the Beaubien Place Garage at the corner of Beaubien and Atwater street and the GM Wintergarden entrance on Atwater Street.
