Ford says there will be no jobs lost by moving small models since they are increasing other model production outputs. Why move? There are plenty of empty buildings in Detroit and Flint. My bet is greed.

Federal interference and over-regulation is my bet
If they acquired a plant here, they would have to get some people out of Mexico to work in it.
Hate to see the move to Mexico. But, I can't blame them for getting out of Detroit.
From what I see of the labor market, that's a very true statement.Quote:

I have been a Ford buyer since I bought my 1st 1970 Mustang Mach1 in 1973. My father-in-law was a Ford/Lincoln Mercury dealer for 30 years. All that said, the fact that Ford didn't take a single penny of bail-out $$ from Uncle Sucker would be reason enough for me to buy the brand.
Yep. I don't plan on buying a Chevy or Chrysler any day soon for that very reason, and my last three vehicles have been a Ford. I love my new Lariat.Quote:

No one in Mexico has money to buy cars except the Cartels and they drive BMWs and Land Rovers.
The liberal labor unions would be my guess. The unions are outdated and way over priced for what those people do for a living.Quote:
