True, but FOE is profitable, and if the market is really going to start contracting, that's more important. I'm not saying they should let their market share slip away or anything. Go after market share as the market picks back up.
You know biker, it would be much easier to make your point using small quotes that succinctly make your point rather than ENTIRE GODDAMN ARTICLES and hope everyone can figure out just what it is you're trying to say.
My bad, I thought it opened after Labor Day. Still, Ford for whatever reason has been delaying the order guides for the Focus for the last few model years.
One correction, C-Max isn't surviving past the end of production at MAP. Not for North America at least.
Also regarding your point on the the Unifor negotiations, that didn't stop Ford from announcing the Focus leaving MAP....
The telemetry data is (mostly) standalone equipment, and what isn't doesn't have the same receptive features that the FCA software has. The FCA software got hacked by using the OTA update access.
I'm not at FRAP anymore so any info I'm getting out of there now is second hand, but that's certainly a bonus. They've pumped a bunch of money into that plant just for the additional quality checks they require for Lincoln models.
