Soon they will have 3 workers left at the assembly line making 1 Falcon a month from 100% Chinese parts. But of course they will hire 2000 extra accountants and marketing gurus to come up with ways to increase profits.................. |

FoMoCo looks set to have major liquidity issues during 2009; their US strategy is failing and they are now selling off their "star performance" brands in order to create some form of working capital for the core Ford brand; they can't raise any more equity funding as their shares are close to junk status; the cost of debt funding has blown out and I doubt they will have much luck with the banks either. Last rumour from Japan was that FoMoCo will sell their 34% stake in Mazda; I wouldnt be suprised if Volvo is next. |
