Ford Jellymoulds Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Germans won't be sacked they have the best employee protection laws in the world it would cost Ford a small fortune to do it, the plant will be run down over years then closed when folk retire they won't be replaced.

RichardJensen Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Also, the Cologne engine was not replacing the Essex in the F150s, and it was itself being replaced in the Mustang.
