news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-08 05:18:06

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2026-02-07 20:26:44

On the surface, Ford’s latest announcement is a fantastic deal for car buyers. The company is retiring its “employee pricing for all” campaign and rolling out an aggressive “Zero, Zero, Zero” summer sales event: zero down payment, zero percent interest for 48 months, and zero payments for the first 90 days. It’s a tempting offer, but when you look closer at the economic landscape, it starts to look less like a confident summer promotion and more like a defensive maneuver against a gathering sto
