Maybe that is why Ford wants nothing to do with the government bailout. While GM might have been doing as well on Escalades they are now essentially paying people to remove them from the lots.

It reminds me of a story I heard about Aston Martin, but the veracity of it I do not know. At some point during one of the company's less successful periods the friend of one of the owners asked, since they were buddies, if he could purchase an Aston at cost. The answer was "Sure!" and the price was raised by a few thousand pounds.
