Ford's Future - Autoline This Week 1551

In the middle of some of our bleakest economic times, the Blue Oval has strung together a few impressive years. Not only with sales and solid product, but with stability. Something that hasn't been seen in the auto industry for quite a while. And much of the credit has gone to the leadership of its CEO Alan Mulally. But as Mr. Mulally nears retirement people are beginning to ask who will take his place at the helm of the Ford Motor Company. Experts point to the extraordinary bench strength in its boardroom and believe the next leader will come from there, with one the top candidates the company's Executive Vice President and President of the Americas, Mark Fields. And this week Mr. Fields joins John McElroy on Autoline to talk about Ford, its future and the health of the auto industry as a whole. Joining John on his panel are Jean Jennings of Automobile and Jason Stein from Automotive News.

@mawolff23 It has so few views because most people would rather watch the idiocy that is so much of what's on YOUTUBE. Too bad. It's one of the reasons why nitwits like Obama get elected.

What an excellent show. I think people who have followed closely to FORD will find that Mr. Mulally's inspiration reaches out beyond the company. A brand that was once overlooked is one of the hottest topics in the automotive world today and it's all thanks to leadership that realized it's time to actually make a change.

In México Ford´s cars prices are so high that even though we love Ford here, they are not competition for cars from VW, Seat or even Nissan. Mark Fields put attention to this, please.
