Luck, or foresight? When the dust settles they will be the only domestic left that didn't file BK and crawl to this admin with a cup in their hand. Maybe they had less arrogance than the other two,and actually released new products on time?

Luck.
Don't forget that it was just a few short years ago that Ford was in the weakest position of the Big 3. They have had a lot of problems in the decade as well, including:
- the Explorer tire debacle
- letting the equity of the Taurus sink, then introducing the 500 with no identity whatsoever
- letting Mercury and Lincoln become badge-engineered nothings
- not importing the second-generation Focus to America
Ford does not deserve my good graces any more than any other company in Detroit.
