Cutting down the number of assembly units of Ford will cause phasing out of a substantial number of jobs. Well, I’m just hoping that the affected employees of this company move will be given due and proper consideration. On one hand, let’s not put all the blame on Ford Motors. Well, maybe, they are just experiencing a sort of market decline but sooner or later cycle will move again and Ford will say goodbye from recession. I think this is just one of Ford’s strategies in confronting the competition. They need to redeem a larger market share because Japanese carmakers are in the hype right now. Blogwise, it’s good. Informative. I would appreciate more if statistics like comparative quarter sales for every carmaker is shown. Or maybe, some new car models on the side. But in general, this is a good blog.
