Ford Australia and the Federal Government announced yesterday that Ford would receive an assistance package worth over $50 million to ensure that Ford continues to build cars in Australia.
$40 million of that package will go towards the development and manufacture of the next Falcon and Territory models. Does this mean that we can expect to see John Howard embossed on the steering wheels of new Fords?
Seriously though, wouldn’t this money be better spent developing smaller and more fuel efficient vehicles?
