    well it's a way to stay afloat in the automobile industry, it should be interesting to see what happens, also isn't mazda owned by Ford now?

    Ford actually owns a one-third controlling interest of Mazda.

    usually mergers make sense when each company brings things to the table that can compliment the other... with Ford and GM all I see is a lot of overlap - a lot of people going to lose jobs !

    Now let's take a look at GM's holdings: Opel, Vauxhall, Holden, etc. What a huge conglomerate this would create.

    Haha.

    The market didn't really like that merger news...

    I can just imagine the looks on all those redneck Chevy vs. Ford fans
