Someone should find out how many parts Ford *requested*, as opposed to the 20K that will be delivered.
There is also the minor detail of Toyota building some 250 - 500 THOUSAND hybrids next year, compared to the Ford pittance. Suppliers put their biggest customers first. You would think an American company schooled in the ways of capitalism since the Model T would know that.
Selective memory, political BS, market spin. What a company.

No kidding, apparently they decide that is written somewhere that Ford can have exactly what it wants no matter what. It seems like good capitalism to fill the biggest order first and give them first dibs, I mean, they are giving you more money. Ford's 20K seems like a drop in the bucket to the 300K orders Toyota has for this year (and 400K for next year).
