This week on the Leno Show there will be a "green" race involing only the hybrids that will be built at MAP. Ford landed a BIG gig with publicty & perhaps MAP might get some air-time :happy feet: :hyper: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTPwife Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Just me clinging to hope here but they did just unveil the CMax at the frankfurt Auto show today & the past few days in the papers they've been saying the Cmax was coming to North America & it is C Platform like the Euro Focus......

Footballfan Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 One of the VP's will be in plant, either Farley or Hendrichs Then it probably will not be bad news. Usually execs hide themselves when layoffs/cutback announcements are made. My opinion: perhaps adding the Fusion at Wayne Assembly after Focus shifts to MAP?

slider123 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 On Monday, we brought you the first photos of Ford’s next-generation C-Max MPV in prototype form. Today we have even better photos and confirmation from several industry sources that the C-Max will be sold in the United States. From these photos we can see the sliding doors will make it into production, though we reckon its center support will be less radical compared to that of the iosis Max. Despite its disguise, the location of the rail of the sliding door is clearly visible above the fuel filler cap. Overall, the prototype spied today has evolved quite a bit from the cobbled together mule our spy photographers spotted last year. All in all the production model will be a lot bigger than the show car –- but also a lot less exciting. Expect to see engine offerings similar to today’s C-Max –- plus the 2.0L EcoBoost motor Ford recently announced. The car is scheduled to make its official debut at next year’s Paris Motor Show. U.S. production will start towards the end of 2011 at Ford’s Michigan Assembly plant in Wayne, MI. http://www.leftlanenews.com/ford-c-max.html#more-20150 Believe it or not...........

tompor1 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Ford is in deep debt and will need concessions from the UAW represented people to survive??????? Anybody else have a different perspective on "THE MEETING" State of the Business meeting at Wayne.............................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmpp Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Here was the meeting notes as I saw them: We are making progress but need more to be competitive. Here is the money GM, Toyota and Chrysler have and here is the debt that we have. We are going to do what is necessary to get their, which means opening up the contract and giving more concessions. I'm sure this speech will be at every plant and soon after another round of concessions will take place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tompor1 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I'm sure this speech will be at every plant and soon after another round of concessions will take place. I agree it's the first shot in the concessions war. I totally agree with giving concessions, the more upper management gives up the better it will be. As my old boss always said "show me don't tell me". Show us the way VP Hendrichs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shades: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lquidspine Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Here is the money GM, Toyota and Chrysler have and here is the debt that we have. All three of those companies have received governmental help either here or at home in Japan. I hope when they do this at DTP(if they do) they have a question and answer forum as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
