Probably has more to do with the fact that nobody's buying Landrovers anymore. Here's an industry article on it. The domestics are all being hurt, basically, by their larger reliance on SUVs and light trucks. Of Ford, specifically, they say:
Of the major automakers, Ford's sales drop was the worst. Its SUV and truck sales fell 20.8 percent year over year, but car sales were up 8.5 percent fueled by higher demand for the midsize Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln Zephyr.
So the only thing screwing Ford over is gas prices (and in a way this is a good thing, there's going to be a big focus on making more fuel-efficient cars now in the way that only economics can force on big business).
(The homosexual agenda cartel meets in a secret bunker under a volcano, not under the ocean. Our first target is Mars, upon which we will establish a utopian gay society and also a large phallic raygun with which to vaporise Earth)
