SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- Ford's choice and ability to avoid taking loans from U.S.
government is paying dividends in increased shopping by consumers.
An analysis of shopping on its Web site by Edmunds.com, parent of AutoObserver.com, shows the number of visitors who shopped for Ford vehicles in the first three months of this year rose 12 percent compared with the same period a year ago.
At the same time, the number of shoppers considering vehicles from General Motors and Chrysler, both of which have taken loans from the U.S. government, declined 19 percent and 15 percent respectively during the same period.
