    I am looking at buying a vehicle this fall. A friend and I were looking at a dodge challenger. I told him I will NEVER buy a Dodge or GM, because of the money they received from the government. I will be buying a Raptor when it comes out. He told me Ford also received government money. How true is what he is saying?

    Ford only asked for a line of credit be available to them if needed. Ford has not used that line of credit. your friend is wrong.

    Narrowing your choice of vehicles solely based on whether an auto manufacturer received any bailout money is somewhat narrow minded don't you think?
