DETROIT (AP) — Ford Motor Co. says it's moving all of its U.S. small car production to Mexico.
Ford CEO Mark Fields confirmed the long-expected move Wednesday during an event for investors and Wall Street analysts.
Ford currently makes its Fiesta subcompact in Mexico, but its Focus and C-Max small cars are made in suburban Detroit. Making them in Mexico would boost company profits because of low wages there.

“is Ford trying to throw the election to Trump”
Probably not, but they are trying to destroy the union parasites. Nobody comes in between the rich libtards and their bottomline.
Also Perot and Admiral Stockdale were vociferous advocates of abortion in 1992.
Guess what my response is to “buy American”.
Somebody needs to tell Gainesville, GA (THE poultry capitol of the world.
I see dozens of trucks driving by every morning on their way to slaughter.
Don’t remember him saying that...but its all a jumble to me. I have trouble separating Perrot in my mind with the Hank Hill’s father on King of the Hill.
Also gas was unleaded or leaded. Now Flint’s water is Would you like Leaded water or Unleaded water. You have your choice. The Wixom MI Ford Car plant closed a couple years ago. Drive by that plant being developed into something else. Up here in the UP we still have the former Ford Plant in Kingsford. Also the Ford Sawmill is still in in Alberta Village, MI (Just northeast of Covington and Southeast of L’ Anse). This operational saw mill was donated by Ford to Michigan Technical University. This was Ford; Socialism experiment. Everything was right there, housing and work.
>> as their income increases.
Unfortunately, in the nation of Outsourcing and Rightsizing and Part-timing, the income doesn’t increase any more. If you aren’t a white male, you might get a promotion. Whatever meager increases there are are taken up by health care and food.
I tell you what. I’ve got 5 girls out back that are fighting off nightly attacks by possums.
GIVE CHICKS A CHANCE! :)
Wait just a minute. Didn’t i hear a talking head at Ford a bit ago when Trump said Ford was moving to Mexico say Trump was not telling the truth?
They would stay here? Yes I am pretty sure I saw that. anyone else remember that?
Did you know until 1952 Ford’s were made with wood. Kingsford Charcoal was an offshot of the process of cutting the ends off the oak wood used in the manufacturing process. Kingsford got its name one of Ford;s senior employees. Just think Ford’s no longer made in the USA. Ford has a huge plant in Brazil. I can remember the word Brazil on my nephew’s Ford Ranger rims.
Some other pork related stuff may be on the way to China as well.....
Thank you for the history lesson. I learn stuff all the time on here. Yes, I made a donation recently.....
They send us their dependents and criminals and we send them our jobs. That’s some great deal, right there....
A lie of omission is a lie nonetheless....please tell the WHOLE story...
Ford is EXPANDING production in the US...yes they are moving small car production to Mexico...but larger more lucrative vehicle production in the US is INCREASING.
Yes, there are other reasons companies move production from the US to cheap labor nations, but cheap labor is and always has been by far the main reason manufacturing leaves the US.
Man we have had some really uninformed posters on FR, but you're in a class by yourself.
Have to wonder in what part of the world you were raised.
Folks, don't be fooled by this yayhoo.
1925 Ford Model T chassis and drive train and wood spoke wheels, common on nearly all autos of the day..
1932 Ford chassis and bodies.
Yes and the Rumor is, the "Ranger" ( the American Version ) as well as a potential spin off ( aka a new "Bronco" )

Old news and nothing to see here...............
