Bring the Iosis concept to market as a new Mercury model and FoMoCo can set back and count the money. These two vehicles alone could save Ford! Only change I'd make is do away with the swing up doors. Its all product. That's all they offer, that's what their business is all about: product, product, product. As fast as they brought the Ford GT to market, these two vehicles could be in showrooms spring 2008! Bring the Reflex concept to market as the next Focus.

They could ask Ford of Europe for permission to bring some of their models into the US. It is convenient that both companies have the same name even though they have no apparent connection. Ford of Europe has interesting, up to date models, which is exactly what Ford on America needs, so it's a no brainer. Maybe there is an auto business consultant somewhere that could introduce the two companies. Joe Ford should hold talks with Ford of Europe about co-operation.

I'd rather see Ford pursuing deals in India or China then Europe - After all what have Renault/Nissan got that Ford can't do on its own?

I think Ford just needs to design some better products. I know they say they have some in the pipelines....but maybe they need to figure out how to hurry them along. Everyone seems to think Carlos Ghosn is an automotive saviour....but last I checked, weren't Nissan's sales down? And Renault is not an international player since they do not offer any cars here in the US. So I guess an alliance is to either platform share (cause Carlos has said many times he will not be CEO of either GM or Ford) or hope they can have Carlos dabble in some of thier business....who knows.
