Backhoes are construction equipment.

New Holland is owned by Fiat auto group who also owns Ferrari. Could be on his way up the food chain.

Leaves Ford to go build farm equipment? Maybe they’ll put the new 3 bar grille on the 2009 model year backhoes.

Note to Mr. Mondragon: the electrical cord you see when you open the hood of your Canadian Ford product is not part of a secret plug-in hybrid testing program. Enjoy that first Canadian winter.

My cousin works at the Oakville Assembly plant. I didn’t realize they built the Flex there. BTW, this is why I like LLN – industry news rather than random babble about cars they think are cool that they saw a few blocks over from their house.
