Ford 59, FCA 13, GM 11, Mercedes 10, Honda 9, BMW 6, Totota 6. I’ll repeat FCA 13? Half way there Jimmy. What a terrible Exec.! Worse yet the board of directors are keeping him.
Yes it’s sad to see ol Jim running Ford into the ground for his own failed experiments.
Running behind FCA is a sad indictment. Hopefully the board will see through the BS and sack him. What ever happened to quality job 1?
