Ford's troubles cast a shadow over the Hiroshima-based automaker (Mazda) .

Should Ford's position worsen, Mazda could begin to feel the heat . Battling with higher gas prices, a slowing U . S . economy, and a heavy reliance on trucks, Ford is burning more cash than it planned .

Even before its recent loss, the company's red ink topped $15 billion in the past two years, and it went through $8 billion in cash during the first half of 2008 . While Chief Financial Officer Don LeClair says Ford believes it has enough cash, the company is not committing to a return to black ink by 2010 .

"There is still too much uncertainty and volatility in the economy [to target a return to profitability]," CEO Alan Mulally said on July 24

694991 2008-08-05 04:52:00 Pity. I love Fords. The new FG and FPV FGs are so sexy. Too bad they're over 60 grand though. qazwsxokmijn (102)

Gotta admit, the new Ford utes are something special.
