The Light at the End of a Long, Dark Tunnel?


It's funny how timing and context can affect one's views.

Take, for instance, these two dueling stories: NPR delivers the news that both Ford and Chrysler report double-digit sales drops for 2009, while over at Automotive News, a lead story declares that Ford sees a 33 percent jump in December sales (joined in making gains by BMW, Mazda, Nissan and Subaru). So is the company (and the industry at large) hurting or healing? Both -- it just depends on the numbers at which you're looking.It's funny how timing and context can affect one's views.
