    Ford bearing down

    I think Ford is trying to take over Mazda because more and more Mazdas are being built with Ford parts. Like the Mazda3 is basically a European Focus with mazda sheetmetal and the Mazda6 shares alot of the same parts with the Ford Fusion. Ford needs to back off and let Mazda build great handling cars.

    the only mazda6 built in the US is the US sold mazda6. the mazdaspeed6 and other market mazda6s are built in japan. a good portion of parts in that car are mazda specific. for all the ranting and raving about how the 3 is shared with volvo and ford, one must remember that 75% of that car is also japanese in origin and that the european focus is a great car compared to the US model. the only mostly-ford models in the line up are the b-series and the tribute, both of which are going away by the time the next model refresh rolls around. the rx8, the new 5 and miata are all mazda as well. the CX7 is another good example - an america only car built in japan, not even sold in japan.

    ford owns 33% of mazda and will likely not let go of that share. bill ford recently said in a PR statement that the mazda relationship is probably the best one they made in the last thirty years and that jaguar, land rover and even lincoln would be gone before mazda was.
