Joseph Wilson

Former Ambassador Joseph Wilson has been on the air a lot lately talking about the outing of his wife as a former CIA agent. My impression from listening to him is that he is articulate and is justifiably mad at the tenant-in-chief and his minions. He's also full of himself. What I can't figure out is whether he comes off as being full of himself because (1) he wants to convince us of his credibility on the issues in question, or (2) he's just full of himself.

Is the "Futura" of Ford in Mexico?


Ford confirmed that it will be building the upcoming Futura sedan in Mexico. The Futura is an indirect replacement for the Taurus. I say indirect because Ford intends to keep building the Taurus for a while at least after Futura production begins.

Ford plans to build up to 400,000 Futura sedans in Mexico and 200,000 "sport wagons" in Canada.

All of this, of course, angers those with vested interests in Atlanta Georgia, where the Taurus and Sable are built. Ford has no plans for the Atlanta Factory after Taurus production ends. This is interesting because Ford has issued numerous press releases over the years touting the efficiency of the Atlanta facility.

I wonder how many Futuras they'll sell in Mexico?
