premesso che sarebbe meglio che gli analisti di lehman si concentrassero su come risolvere i problemi di casa loro visto i casini su cui si trovano, c'è da dire che se parliamo di fce bank nonostante il rating molto basso non dovrebbe avere particolari problemi mentre su gmac ormai sono 3 o 4 anni che assitiamo alla sua decadenza e sui suoi problemi congiunti a quelli di res cap ne siamo già informati da tempo.

UPDATE 2-Ford says U.S. sales weaken further; cuts output
Reuters - 20/06/2008 18:13:22
(Recasts, adds detail, background)
DETROIT, June 20 (Reuters) - Ford Motor Co (F.N) said on Friday it would slash production and delay the launch of a new version of its top-selling F-150 pickup truck due to a deepening slump in U.S. sales that will weigh on results this year and next.

Ford said it would post lower results for its core automotive business this year and said it would be difficult to avoid a loss in 2009.

Ford shares dropped 5.5 percent in morning trade on the New
York Stock Exchange.

The struggling No. 2 U.S. automaker also lowered its forecast for industrywide U.S. auto sales this year to a range of 14.7 million to 15.2 million vehicles, including medium and heavy-duty trucks. That was down from Ford's already reduced forecast of 15 million to 15.4 million.

Ford said it would cut third-quarter production by 25 percent and fourth-quarter production by between 8 percent and 14 percent as it throttles back on big trucks and SUVs that consumers are increasingly shunning in the face of record gas prices.

Ford also delayed the launch of its new F-150 pickup truck, pushing back by about two months the first sales of the redesigned version of its best-selling vehicle. It said it was taking the unusual and costly step because it needed to sell down inventory of the current F-150 model.

"As gasoline prices average more than $4 a gallon and consumers worry about the weak U.S. economy, we see June industrywide auto sales slowing further, and demand for large trucks and SUVs at one of the lowest levels in decades," Ford Chief Executive Alan Mulally said in a statement.

The forecast for continued losses marks the first significant setback for Ford since Mulally took over as chief
executive in 2006.

Ford lost $2.7 billion in 2007 and $12.6 billion in 2006.

The company's shares were down 35 cents to $5.97 on the New York Stock Exchange. (Reporting by Poornima Gupta, editing by Gerald E. McCormick and John Wallace)
