I saw the 2011 F150. Hardcore looks. If it's the fuel economy vehicle then it's really very good. I might have one next year. Anyway, congrats to Ford, named as the Marketer of the Year! Good job, despite the difficult times, Ford still managed to increase profit. Recession left great craters in America's economic landscape, and the auto industry fared no better. The resulting automotive bailout funds may have kept some corporations from going under, however it scarred their public reputations within the process. Not accepting TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program ) funds was a gamble for Ford, however in hindsight it has paid great dividends. Now Automotive News reports that that exact same respect has earned Ford the 2010 “Marketer of the Year” award from Advertising Age magazine. I got the info here: Ford is 2010 Marketer of the Year, states Advertising Age.
