|
Production Testing Starts for 2012 Focus Ford, which vowed five years ago to remake itself into a company that builds cars as well as it does trucks, is close to turning that objective into a reality. This week, Ford took the Free Press on a tour of the Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, a factory in which Ford has invested $550 million to convert from a big SUV factory to one that is beginning to build small, fuel-efficient Focus compact cars. “This truck plant made money for Ford,” said Cornelius Meads, a UAW team leader who has worked for Ford for 15 years. “We are hoping the car can do the same.” Ford’s successful transition back to popular carmaker — its car...

Ouch! Killing Mercury said to cost Ford $500 million
Filed under: Ford, Mercury In life, Mercury was an under-funded brand mainly composed of waterfall grilles stapled to bone-stock Ford models. In death, however, Mercury apparently gets to see some of the money it always dreamed of having when it was alive. According to Automotive News, Ford CFO Lewis Booth claims that shutting down Mercury before the end of this year will cost the Oval roughly $500 million overall. Booth says Ford already took a $247 million charge in the first half of 2010 to cover the neglected marque's mercy killing. The lion's share of the money being... [Read More] |

|
Focus ST set for Paris Debut! A fire has been lit under the new Focus! An inside source at Ford has confirmed that a hot ST version of the all-new hatchback will break cover at the Paris Motor Show in October, alongside full production versions of the five-door and estate models.
