[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 775825, member: 56140"] Actually, the opposite is true. Land Rover and Jaguar were about ready to flop. Ford saved both of those brands from Extinction. The same with Mazda. If it were not for Ford, Mazda would be gone too. As blksn8k already pointed out, Nasser spent WAY too much money trying to take Brittish icons and compete with the likes of BMW, Mercedes, and Audi. That is one of the reasons Ford is in the situation they are in today. Nasser devoted way too much money building those brands and ignored the US market. SUV's were doing great and carried thier own. Ford ignored cars like the Escort. Ford brought the Focus to the US and under Nassers command, stripped every bit of quality out of it. All the money was spent on Jaguar, Aston Martin, and Land Rover. Very sad situation indeed. Brittish cars had special mechanic for a reason. They needed them. Tom [/QUOTE]
