Steveottawa Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 From here http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-04-10/ford-replaces-lincoln-chief-designer-with-luxury-veteran.html?cmpid=yhoo Don't know if I believe this story..especially this part. Wolff, a highly regarded designer originally from Australia, may have encountered resistance to his efforts to further differentiate Lincoln cars from the Ford models upon which they are based, Wolkonowicz said. Mulally’s “One Ford” strategy seeks to reduce costs and increase profits by using common parts and mechanical foundations for models worldwide. “Max Wolff is an incredibly talented guy,” said Wolkonowicz, who is based in Boston. “But they don’t want to violate One Ford because One Ford saved that company.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickF1011 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Hmmm. Don't think this is particularly good news regardless of the reasoning. Lincoln is in a fragile position and one thing it likely needs more than anything else right now is consistency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
