Ford And General Motors Should Learn From Toyota

[RichardJensen]

My how quickly you forget that Ford Europe was supporting Ford NA during its restructure.

 

Been a long time since that happened--c. '79-85.

Maybe not carrying Ford but Europe was profitable in 2006 and 2007 when FNA was making huge losses.

2006 $445 milon

2007 $997 million

2008 $1.06 Billion

 

You know, back when Biker liked Ford Europe and though Ford should be bringing over all of its European vehicles..

 

 

I don't think that Ford has set a rigid timetable on Electrification since the days of

Bill Ford's desire to see expanded hybrid and electric vehicles back in the early 2000s.

Having driven quite a few Mondeos, I can attest that the later CD4 is definitely a much better vehicle.
