Hey LPrct, what happened? I thought you were so certain that there would be delays?

That's fine until the UAW goons decide they want more money and strike again thus once again hurting an American car company.

Ford was smart not letting a car as important to them as the Fusion be produced by the inept, corrupt and greedy UAW. That fine car was a Mazda design, built by craftsmen who shiv a git, and without an ax to grind in Mexico.

This new Fusion is a Ford design, and will be built by the same overpaid UAW slugs that have been spewing junk out for the past 40+ years.

My guess is the frequency of repair record for the new Fusion will skyrocket.

I see the truth just fine. I also see the history of the UAW going back more than half a century.

Isn't Michigan RTW now? I'm sure some of the workers will be ones who opted out.

That is one if the most ignorant posts I have seen.

Good workers produce quality work weather they are union members or not.

Yes there are some with an axe to grind just like low paid non union members in RTW states.

The only difference is that many Union workers can afford to buy the cars they are building.

The current Fusion is selling very well and the Mexico plant can only produce 300,000 cars a year. That is why they have added the Fusion to the Flat Rock plant. The car being built in Flat Rock is the same car being built in Mexico.

There will undoubtedly be some people who want a US built car, and others will want one built elsewhere.

I am not sympathetic to the UAW but otherwise I don't care where a car is built, nor where the headquarters of the company are. I only care about the vehicle itself.
