Ford's Way Forward:
Kill the Most Productive Plant in the US

Ford has been touting its "Way Forward" plan for returning to profitability. "Job 1" apparently is to kill the plant that produces its most popular passenger car, which happens to be the most productive automobile assembly plant (of any maker) in the United States. I'm talking about the Georgia plant that builds the Ford Taurus.

I'm wondering if some adventurous "Gung Ho" employees, you know, Michael Keaton types, could get together a plan to buy the plant from Ford, buy the Taurus tooling, and manufacture "Taurus Motor Co." cars to sell to fleet buyers. Just a thought.
