[QUOTE="b00n, post: 1441571, member: 16751"] bro, wrong infor ler.... Ford is from the state and Mazda is from Jap. Mazda : 1920 Toyo Cork Kogyo Co., Ltd is founded in Hiroshima, Japan. ([url]http://www.fordmotorcompany.co.za/corporate/history/mazda.asp[/url]) http://media.ford.com/mazda/article_display.cfm?article_id=15147 [I]Mazda History 1967 Mazda builds its first rotary vehicle, the 110S Cosmo Sport. . . 1970 Mazda establishes Mazda Motor of America (N.W.), Inc. Vehicle sales in the U.S. begin with the R100 coupe, the first mass-produced rotary-powered car in America. . . 1975 Mazda Motor of America (Central), Inc. established. . . 1979 Ford Motor Company purchases a 24.5 percent stake in Mazda Motor Corporation. [/I] Ford only comes into the picture in 1979 in Mazda's history. Whereby the sharing of platform is being introduced. From wikepeida (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda): [I]The Ford Motor Company has owned 25% of Mazda since 1979, and its stake was increased to a 33.4% controlling interest in 1996 when Mazda fell into financial crisis. Ford has based many of its models on Mazdas, such as the Probe, late model (North American) Escort and Mercury Tracer, and the co-developed Escape/Mazda Tribute. The 1979 deal paved way for Ford selling badge-engineered Mazdas in Asia and Australia, such as the Laser and Telstar. These models replaced the models from Ford Europe sold throughout the 1970s. Ford also used the Mazda models to establish its own retail presence in Japan - the Autorama dealers sold these cars, plus the occasional Ford US and Ford Europe models. [B]The badge-engineered models came to an end in the early 21st century, as Ford replaced the Laser with its own Focus, and Telstar with its own Mondeo. Ford and Mazda have moved onto collaboration in a more fundamental sense, by way of platform sharing[/B].[/I] [/QUOTE]
