Bottom line
Ford is years ahead of General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) in certain aspects, including operating efficiency and bottom-line profits. All of Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F)’s new vehicles have been a hit where GM has stumbled with its redesigned Malibu. GM just started its all-important advertising blitz for its redesigned 2014 Silverado and that will be a big factor if General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) wants to hold on to its sales crown. GM surely isn’t going to give up the sales lead without a fight and plans to redesign, refresh, or replace almost 90% of its vehicles by 2016 – but I still expect Ford to come out ahead.
