Incredible news today... as reported via the link above... Ford will absorb BMW as a new division. Worse yet, just as Jaguar and Lincoln often swapped styling elements, new Ford division BMW has been ordered to adopt Ford retro styling clichés in order to grow market share and better reach into the new and "un-tapped" markets of Thailand and the Philippines.
The SVT M3 will be the first product on the street:
Conversely, the new 2010 Mustangwill have clear BMW "influences"... heck, it will use BMW parts to save money. To save even more money, and as part of Billy Ford's continued campaign against all things "Jac Nasser", the Mustang will go back to the S197 platform. The tooling for the S197 had been sent to Venezuela to be used for a new product there, but the dictator Chavez stopped the tools shipment at the entry port and sent it home saying he didn't want a "Yankee hand-me-down". Then the planned sale of it to Tata failed as well. So, it's back in the plan. A final production sign-off prototype is shown here, parked outside the palatial surburban home of Team Mustang Chief Janine Bay. Yes, she came back too.
