Ford Motor Company will invest $550 million to transform its Michigan Assembly Plant into a lean, green and flexible manufacturing complex to build Ford's next-generation Focus global small car along with a new battery-electric passenger car. The investment will support 3,200 jobs. The new Focus begins production next year. The battery-electric version debuts in 2011, helping Ford meet its promise of delivering four new electric vehicles in the US by 2012.

  • Can't wait for the Ford Focus Electric. I live near where they are going to be assembled and can't think of a better way to support my fellow American workers and a great American car company than to purchase one of these innovative cars.

  • ford will survive because their union understood that they HAD to give some to get some... GM and Chrysler didn't get it, now they are a puppet of the US Govt... so long, it's been good to know ya. Ford will be big blue once again.. Toyota ?? you're next to feel the power of blue.

  • I am very proud of the company. Even though I was one of many to be affected by the layoffs/cut backs at Chicago Assembly, I believe in being a team player. I feel very confident about the future of the company and its product line.

  • yes Ford is a great company.

  • I'm looking foward to buying the next Focus

  • Sweet! Way to go Ford! Way to get back in the game and take the crown back! Keep doing what you're doing and never rest!

  • Small cars are great, the only small cars i don't like is a miata ant the smart and any other small car like that they are just not safe to drive.

  • I'm happy for all of those people that will have job security, because the new Focus is going to sell like wild.

  • Go Ford.
