Not sure how many folks peruse The Car Connection.com (www.thecarconnection.com) , but they've recently been highlighting alot of "industry talk" with regards to the future of Ford and their way ahead. They even went as far to put together a poll in which the viewers of the site could vote on various "options" of what Ford could implement. The results of the poll were published today, 5 Sep. They are:
Ford's options: Which Way Forward is the right one?
27.7% A sell-off of the British brands.
10.5% An alliance with a big foreign name, like Hyundai or Renault.
16.5% Follow the Yellow Brick Road.
16.1% Going private.
12.5% All of the above.
12% Stay the course, the Way Forward is working.
2.6% Selling off its Mazda stake.
2.1% Selling off Volvo.
Note that the idea of Ford selling off Volvo didn't garner alot of support by viewers of that website. I guess that's a good thing. Anyway...take it for it's worth...I just found it interesting and thought it worth sharing.
