The first vehicles and engines are due to come off the line in 2014.


Ford building $1bn manufacturing complex in India - FRANCE 24 (http://www.france24.com/en/20110906-ford-building-1bn-manufacturing-complex-india - broken link)
Well, I guess I will never buy another Ford in this ever increasing global market where its sales and profits before nationalism.

Since it does not matter, I guess my next purchase will be a Kia, and I also saw some goodies I want to buy online from Iran.

Patriotism is for shills and the little people, making profits and saving money is for the elite, so go the elite way and buy some items from anyone you want in this global market.

People have to recognize sooner or later that we ARE in a global economy.

Toyota, BMW, and other "foreign" car companies assemble cars here. Why should Ford be any different.

Exactly, and in this global economy, the actions have real life consequences where everyone but the elite race faster to the bottom because of these policies.

So, since it is a global economy and there is no allegiance, then by all means, everyone buy something from Iran, Libya, and other countries of the like.
