Ford Speeds up Efforts to Cut Global Platforms

Apologies if this has already been posted—I'm new here:

Excerpt:

The five global platforms are:

-- B, used for the Ford Fiesta;

-- C, used for the Focus;

-- C/D, used for the Fusion;

-- light truck, used for the Ranger pickup sold outside the United States; and

-- commercial vehicle, used for the Transit van.

That leaves four regional platforms. Surely Mustang gets one, and possibly the Taurus. Here's hoping there's one for the Falcon!

Or maybe Mustang and Falcon will share a chassis again. The next Mustang is supposed to have IRS.
