What does that have to do with the steering wheel, not to mention how dangerous that sounds. I hate how it looks and feels. I don't eat in my cars anyway they may get crumbs. I can use my elbow to change gears but that is not needed often. |

Atleast you admit to it. Have had the XR8 up to 200 on a few occassions. Would have gone further, but ran out of race track.

Thats what it said when Ford sold a fair chunk of their stake earlier this year, that they now no longer have a controlling stake. But i could be wrong. |

They have now sold most of that interest to Japanese investment banks. Quote:
Ford sold Aston Martin outright Ford only have around 13% stake on mazda. These brands all gone in the last 4 years: Aston martin Jaguar Land Rover Volvo Mercury. Now there's only Ford, Lincoln and a small interest in Mazda Oh, and they also own South American 4x4 brand, Troller. |

Well looking at the aliances of car companies around the world they would be silly not too. Also Ford has transformed so that would make Mazda much more happy to work with them.

Recalls are a necessity. WIthout them, the people that fork out money to drive in the vehicle could be seriously injured.
It's a responsible thing to do. How many people here make a mistake and actually own up?

Even the Chassis out of a Holden made it in to a Camaro. I will go a little further to say that if a Ford dealer suspects a customer is Holden orienated, He will bend over backwards to sell that customer a Ford. And the same goes for Holden dealers if they get Ford based customer. This has been my experience in the past. I am a Ford fan, but I will not buy one just for the hell of it. |
