ok, my serious comment this time...
I just hope this doesn't negatively impact Mazda in any way.
That's really the only company in the Ford family that I "care" about, and would be inclined to purchase cars from.

Bill Ford stepping down as CEO
just reported 2 hours ago, but William Ford Jr. is giving up his CEO title at Ford Motor Co. He will retain his title as chairman and hand over the reins to Alan Mulally, a veteran executive at the Boeing Company, as its new president and chief executive. Alan is credited with turning around Boeing's commercial airline division.
I say this isn't totally unexpected, particularly in light of his previous comments that all jobs were replaceable with new talent including his own (I'm paraphrasing).

Yup, good move. Just look at the trend Ford is in. They need a new CEO like 10 yrs ago.

Sep 6th, 2006 02:32 PM #8Jaguar is more of a money draining brand than Range Rover and Aston Martin. In fact Range Rover actually gained profits for Ford. Originally Posted by mlc2000
