Ford Lays off 7000 salaried workers!

Analyst Adam Jonas of Morgan Stanley is among those who say Ford Motor Co. cannot reach its stated profit goals for “Smart Redesign” by laying off just 7,000 salaried workers total worldwide by August. The company must cut “a further” 23,000 salaried jobs in the near term to fulfill its goals, Jonas wrote.

Ford and GM merger rumors?

“Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. (NYSE: FCAU) proposed a merger with Renault that would create the world’s third largest carmaker. The eroding economics of the industry make such deal more likely by the day. Deep trouble at Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F) and General Motors Co.’s (NYSE: GM) need for more heft to compete with rivals Toyota and Volkswagen make a marriage between the two largest car companies increasingly probable.

Fiat Chrysler argues that a tie-up with Renault will lead to $5.5 billion in savings. As car sales have flattened in the United States and started to drop in China, the two largest markets in the world offer less hope for revenue improvement. Neither company has much of a sales footprint in China. Renault has none at all. Both have a strong market share in Europe, but it is one of the most competitive markets in the world. At the low end of the market, VW is the dominant force. At the high end, it is BMW and Mercedes.”

Guess people only buy F150s anymore But what the hell is going on here, seriously? Consumers have PLENTY to choose from, and the choices have been paired down already since 2001 or so. What’s the REAL issue? Quality? Affordability? People suck?
