Spring Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 This makes a new product a little more difficult . http://www.autoblog.com/2011/07/11/fiat-may-supply-ram-van-replacement-for-dodge/ I don't think so. We've historically had great launches and our quality is best in the industry. Furthermore, whenever the company has been in dire straits, when they've come to OHAP, they've gotten what they need. It would make business sense for them to continue to fully utilize the facility and workforce that is in place given that they have always stepped up to the line and done what was needed to be done. Granted, we need a new body shop but I truly believe that it is a sound investment in the future presence of Ford Motor Company in Northeastern Ohio.

Again, I have to disagree. For the most part, you've mentioned passenger vans. The Econoline is primarily a commercial segment van and that's the niche we need to look at. We have the majority of the market and I believe we will continue to have that market. The passenger vehicles compete in an entirely different class. Furthermore, what would that have to do with a new product? We won't be getting a new van necessarily. It could be an entirely different product.
