A series of belt-tightening strategies, such as cutting plants and jobs and eliminating luxury brands, helped Ford narrow its loss to $2.7 billion in 2007. Revenue increased 7.7%, but U.S. sales fell 12%, and market share declined to 14.6% from 16% a year earlier.

This year may be even tougher, as skyrocketing gas prices pull customers away from Ford�s current inventory of trucks and SUVs. It may take years for the automaker�s restructuring plans to bear fruit.
