  3. Toyota Stock REBOUNDS amidst Recall

    February 12, 2010 by mycarlady

    Culture and emotion drive Toyota stock rebound.

    As the recalls accumulated, Toyota stock never hit the $52 year-to-date low. Opening today in the mid-seventies, many stock-market analysts have predicted Toyota will recover quickly and return 10% annually over the next few years.  Is this simply shrewd profiteering by industry insiders comfortable in the history of this international, multi-dimensional company or emotional stock buying in an anti-American car mindset?

    “The answer,” says Dr. Samuel Sarri, Professor of Economics, Finance, and Philosophy at College of Southern Nevada, “is in the American public’s belief that the Japanese culture of commitment to quality, expertise and empowerment are traditions of national pride that will continue to drive the globalization of Toyota manufacturing, sales and finance success worldwide for years to come”.

    What about the scores of accusations that Toyota failed to admit the problems known to some for over five years? “American’s are so consumed by the belief that Japan does it better, they will argue the US governments investment in General Motors and Chrysler is manipulating the story, as they discount the domestic product and stock, without thorough consideration.” Sarri continues.

    While 25% of recent car shoppers polled by Kelly Blue Book reportedly considered a Ford or GM model, how many actually bought one over the Toyota remains to be seen in February sales figures, to be reported in March. Toyota has repeatedly garnered the automotive awards for style, technology and innovation.

     I asked Dr. Sam about this mental-block cracking; “Dr. Edward Deming, (the American most credited with teaching the Japanese about manufacturing, quality control and marketing) has impacted the automotive industry like no other individual, yet, while the Detroit Big 3 have instituted similar process models, only Ford has shown a history of consistent quality-control recognition to interest the consumer.”

     When asked who Sarri thought was the new Deming in the automotive world of the future?  Mike Jackson, President of AutoNation, Lee Iacocca, former CEO of Chrysler and Mike Mulally, CEO of Ford came to mind, however, only Ford has seen the benefit of their new technology, marketing and design in stock value.

    “So, is there an emotional herd mentality pushing Ford stock to its year high of $12.00 from $1.00?” I asked the professor, “Yes, in the case of Ford it’s all upward motion but both Toyota and Ford will show gains in the next few years.”  Given the tenuous memory and loyalty of the American consumer I propose the idea of buying both companies stock, although the Ford at $11.00 today, seems the better deal for my wallet.

    Dr. Sam’s response,“Follow Warren Buffett and Sir John Templeton’s advice: Buy Low, Sell High and stick with solid companies demonstrating good management principles for the long term. Diversify your portfolio with a little stock of both automakers and if you can’t buy-in for the minimum 100 shares, go with a no-load mutual fund covering the auto industry.”

  4. 2010 FORD TAURUS MYCARLADY REVIEW

    October 18, 2009 by My Carlady

     2010 FORD TAURUS MYCARLADY REVIEW

    I got up close with the newly redesigned Ford 2010 Taurus at this week Blog World and New Media Expo 2010-ford-taurus-front-angle1_6253_046_320x240here in Vegas. Social media is all the rage and Ford’s Scotty Monty  leads the way in consumer engagement among the Auto and Blog world.  (Perhaps I’ll get to interview him at another time.)

    On the show floor sat the new Limited version in a striking black metallic flake, sporting a black leather interior. (If you wanted to test drive, you had your choice of the 2010 Ford Fiesta, Taurus SHO, Mustang, and Fusion Hybrid.)  I will save my Taurus test-drive review for tomorrow. 

    However, my first impression of the design was ah, a bit of the Audi A4/A6 bull-nose grill, cut into the hood line. The sharp Xenon recessed and wrap-around headlights, lower marker lights also bear a more European flair. As you walk down the side of the car from front to back your eye follows the (now standard on all wanna-be sporty-looking cars and trucks) vent accent as it raises the belt line in a familiar rake. What is unusual about this is a funky body panel ripple that hits the middle of the gas tank cover, giving you a “skip a heartbeat”  that someone backed into the rear quarter panel of your car.  The fit and finish on the show floor model was better inside than out. 

    Taking a page from the Chrysler 300, the windows shrunk as the back of the car went deep. The trunk and deck lid are off the Lincoln MKZ, which shares its platform and engine configuration, a 263 hp 3.5l v6 with the Ford Taurus for a few grand less. The Taurus SHO version adds 102 HP to the v6; upping it to 365hp.  Don’t expect exciting colors, the palette is a more traditional business suit wardrobe. 

     2010-ford-taurus-rear-angle_6253_048_320x240   Ford is anxious to tout the new technology they have poured into this car, including a rock-chip resistant paint finish they feature in a Lexus challenge against a gravel truck. (Interesting to note the Ford is shown in silver, while the Lexus wears white. The contrast in the commercial reflects more light and visually more chips, which Ford then shows under black light, but you never really know if the same number of rocks hit both cars, at the same time, with the same velocity. A truer assessment would be a specific number of rocks fired at a set speed/angle and wind pattern. Hollywood makes the gravel truck a better story but give ME the controlled study for authenticity.)

     Inside, the 2010 Taurus Limited edition offers up some choice luxury features you would normally pay five grand more for in any import model; AWD is standard, heated and cooled, memory leather seats, power tilt and telescopic steering wheel, adjustable pedals, paddle-shifters, keyless start, 6cd player, wood steering wheel, 18″ chrome rims and SYNC® hard drive stereo technology. Navigation, side sensors and back-up camera are optional.  The MyKey technology offers parents an interesting alternative to the DRIVECAM® or GPSBUDDY® which monitor your teen driver behind the wheel habits.  MyKey allows mom and Dad to put the key in a USB port in the family computer, load up the software and set the speed of the car and the radio volume using the SMART key technology.  When the kids drive too fast or crank the volume, the car automatically slows to the pre-determined speed reduces the stereo volume and the teen driver is busted. All very cool if you are going to let your novice drive your new ride, but my book says the teen driver is the reason you bought yourself a new car and gave them the 10 year old beater to practice on.

     The most aggressive stance on the new 2010 FORD TAURUS comes from the financing arm of the company. For a limited time you can grab a 0% interest rate for 36 months* AND $1,000 rebate on the SEL, Limited and SHO editions.  Prices start around $26,000 and top out over $38,000 with all the fixing’s.  *OAC. Given the competition, offering a huge buying motivation out of the gate, is why Ford tops GM and Chrysler in the US market, and may even grab some Camry, Maxima and Accord drivers this time around.

    Warranty is 3/3K6 standard and 5/60k powertrain and Roadside assistance. 17/24 fuel economy.

  5. No 2010 cars yet, Blame the dollar.

    October 14, 2009 by My Carlady

    KIA SOUL

    KIA SOUL

    The 2009 federal stimulus program aimed to bailout the U.S. automakers, however, the counter effect may have stalled the car buying appetites fanned by CASH for CLUNKERS.  As the government has printed and poured BILLIONS into the auto industry, the value of the dollar has fallen to the point of detouring imports headed to America from Japan, Korea, and Germany.  Given reduced factory capacity due to the faltering global economy, foreign auto manufacturers are sending their best-sellers to countries where the exchange rate is more favorable, leaving U.S. dealerships with fields of empty asphalt.

    Consider this, the popular Kia Soul is shipping to the US at a rate of 2 for every 10 units ordered. A new $3 Billion dollar KIA factory, capable of making 250,000 cars a year is scheduled to be built and open in the next year near Atlanta, GA.  Great but what about now?  Well, as of today the dollar slipped again and dealerships of import brands that thought they escaped the Chrysler, GM fiasco, find themselves in a catch-22. THEY have customers that WANT their product, and they have nothing to sell.  In another unusual production-delivery twist, the 2010 Toyota Prius, launched before the CASH-for-Clunkers program began found itself in an ugly quagmire; the demand for the new Prius wiped dealerships out, and many held back inventory because they could not sell the hot models for MORE THAN MSRP, (under the rules of the CARS program), meanwhile Toyota warned they would slow production.  Once thought to be a reaction to the CARS program, it is now another realization of the DOLLAR-YEN DEBACLE.  Prius’ production for the US market dropped exponentially to the falling greenback.  Once the dollar stabilized, imports trickled into port, but not at the rate the dealers needed to stay alive.  The dollar is continuing to hold imported models, especially lower-priced designs, hostage. While it may appear this is a grand opening for the U.S. automakers to charge back into the lead, they have failed to seize the opportunity.  Ford dealers report a handful of new 2010 models to shop, and orders are taking 12 weeks to deliver. Chrysler and GM have no new products to entice the consumer back, a sad situation on which to try to rebuild a reputation. The new 2010 Dodge Ram 2500/3550 has peaked interest from the car mags, but dealers are missing the popular “RAMBOX” edition and the  err-”redesigned CUMMINS DIESEL 6.7L“

    Lacking new car inventory has driven used car prices to an all-time high. Dealers are traveling to far off auctions hoping to find a treasure. Rental car fleets have reduced inventory turn-over, once the basis for switching new car customers to something slightly less expensive.  In a slow economy the used car has become the “save a deal” car.  Lease return vehicles have also dried up as the trend of 0% financing made 36-42 month leases uncompetitive 3 years ago, thus a lack of low mile, well maintained, luxury models to fill-in the used car inventory. Those 0% units are now paying off, but the lack of product and a shaky economy have motivated the car owner to enjoy a few months payment free.

    SO when you drive by a car lot and it looks like they’re going out of business, they just may be, if the dollar continues to send 2010 imports elsewhere.
