^ WHEN? toetap

They didn't say...

[Logans Run]

This may be an issue during the upcoming UAW talks. It may either force Ford to reveal their plans, or be used as leverage in bargaining for jobs.

yeah ^
imho Fomoco doesn't really care much if AAI stays open or closes
& may let the UAW negotiations (ie UAW's will to live) be the determining factor

I bet it gets CD4 Taurus.

^ that's 2 votes for Taucdfourus

if my partial vote counts...
too sleepy to ck Taurus sales #'s

'know' AAI is 240k capacity
& think Mustang did 160+ while Mz6 did 70+

I will not give up hope, just as a new rear-drive Mustang platform is being developed. Who knew it would be a stupid idea to create a unique platform to adapt to a new Ford car mentality.
