Ford employee or not... articulate to me what Ford's Fusion offers for
driving that a auto manufacturer like General Motors isn't already
providing customers?

RightScale's white paper has an example of a client running RightScale on Amazon EC2, where the RightScale line item in the budget is more than the Amazon one. RightScale does do some interesting stuff, but they do look pricey compared to other ways of doing cloud -- maybe in the long run it's one of those things that makes more sense as a feature than as a product.

After all, why should Red Hat include KVM when "everybody" is already using VMWare ESX?

Yes RightScale's management services is more expensive than the utility costs that Amazon charges. Is that really shocking? Are you suggesting that Landscape is going to compete in cloud management services based on cost? Have you looked at what Landscape costs per node? I'm not sure that holds.
