Dr X Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Heard from a reliable source that Ford is moving Mustang production. It seems that AAI can't get its act together and Mazda want to build and sell more cars. My sources tell me the mustang will be going to wherever the second plant is for the Fusion is. Its my understanding that Ford is pissed off with all the Mazda slackers at AAI. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence the the former dearborn assy. workers you had a plant that was built to make model T's and you made the best with it for as long as you could, thats why you got rewarded with the dearborn truck plant!! people like dr x are crazy!!!!!!

Y2KGT Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 They will NOT take the Mustang from AAI. If anything; Ford would be building them at a second plant to keep up with demand. All that overtime AAI is making wont last long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hendew_15 Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Your crazy if you think the whole build is going to be moved.Maybe some of the production to help support it but not the whole unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BioDiesel Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Not just any cleaner, has to be a midnight cleaner to be considered reliable info. We just had about 30 2000-2004 senority from AAI return to their home plant, Woodhaven Stamping last month. Big mistake for them. Woodhaven is laying off about 150 total on 12-23. They'll probably never see FoMoCo again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmpp Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 heard something similar. not moving the product but adding another plant to build the mustang cuz of demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrolling mill Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Old rumor was that Mazda wanted to pull the Mazda 6 out of AAI due to poor quality. I've heard that one many times. But that is a first for the Mustang rumor. Yes Woodhaven Stamping is doing some major cutbacks, heard they going back to mid 1996 for the layoff's. Heard some of the supervision is getting chopped also. Old Chuck better get it together over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still have tooo many salary heads for the size of the plant. Of course 7-10 of those let go were contractors.

ford4v429 Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 While I really hope Ford gets more capacity on the Mustang, I seriously doubt they would ever move production out of the USA(fusion is mexico right?). Maybethe mazda can move out allowing full mustang production? doubt too many people would care where their mazda came from, but think the iconic mustang would have to stay here...rumours are always floating around- but I do think some more capacity of the mustang gt would be a good thing...just picked mine up finally yesterday and all I can say to the folks at AAI is thankyou, thankyou, thankyou...if there were actually stickshift gts available for test drives, I bet every test would be followed by an order- absolutely no disappointments with this car. Fit and finish are near flawless(rear spoiler on mine is loose- like maybe nut crossthreaded or something, everything else perfect) and it is by far the most fun Ive ever had behind the wheel... only put 40 miles on it, but man...If it had been just a test drive, I would not have been able to go home without it. great job guys! Hope the design team behind this car can keep up the good work...I's swore that I would never buy another new car, as depreciation is so bad, and you could buy a restored classic for less that would increase in value, but this one is too good to pass up. Hats off to Tang and crew, and all the good folks that put the elbow grease into bringing this car to life- Merry Christmas!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 It's a good thing for Ford to keep Mustang production at one plant. It keeps the demand up, the interest there. If they were to increase production, and every buyer that wanted a Mustang GT could just go to a dealer and buy it off the lot, it loses some of it's appeal. The way Ford does things, the Mustang won't remain hot like it is now..it'll get long in the tooth and demand will drop. What of this extra capacity then?

mrballsonya Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Unless Ford is planning on making some variants of the mustang i.e (cougar, Mus-lincoln), I can't imagine them needing much more than the current 192,000 unit capacity. It's more advantageous for Ford to run balls out at one plant Vs. some production at two plants. I just don't see the demand for the mustang going much higher than 220,000 units. This rumor seems to be pure bunk. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFA Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 There are "rumors" of a Lincoln version floating around. That's what Ford needs, 2 or 3 versions of ONE car. Didn't they see how it hurt GM? I would say keep them seperate. Make a Cougar but keep it so different that you can't tell they were part of each other.

Sherminator98 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 That's what Ford needs, 2 or 3 versions of ONE car. Didn't they see how it hurt GM? I would say keep them seperate. Make a Cougar but keep it so different that you can't tell they were part of each other. Part of the problem is that GM at one point time just had a different plastic grill and taillights to tell the brands apart with no sheetmetal changes. The Problem now with GM is that they have too many car lines that they need to differant the same platform from and they can't keep everything fresh because of that due to the costs. There also isnt much overlap in Ford line up price wise like there is with GM. Its far easier for Ford to have 3 different vechicles then it is for GM to have 4-5 of the same thing. The CD3 Trio is a good example of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
