Ford CEO Bill Ford told the Detroit Free Press no major announcements or investments regarding Mexico are coming from the automaker in the near future. “I don’t expect any decision to be coming soon on that,” Ford said. “So the location, the product, and how it may or may not fit into our existing assembly capacity, is something that we are just not ready to make a decision on.” Recently, a leaked document suggested Ford was planning to invest $9.2 billion south of the border. In the interview, Mr. Ford also talked about the automaker’s future in general, and said he’s seeing some of the most original thinking “in many years” at the company. Ford said that plan is on track to restore North American operations to profitability in 2008. He also shared his family’s thoughts on his current state of affairs. “Well, my 15-year-old thinks I’m stuck in glue,” he said, “but my younger son — he’s 11 — still looks up to me, thinks I’ve still got something to offer.”
