#2 I'm surprised they didn't pick Detroit. Lots of vacant land ~~and a skilled motivated union labor force.~~. Hell, you could even get an old auto plant for cheap, although you'd prolly have raze it an rebuild from the ground up.

#3 ...oh, those Environmental statements and compliance with the clean up would just jack up the cost something frightful. Easier with untapped acreage.

Ford never owned more than 33.4% of Mazda (in the 1990s) and now has no interest in Mazda today since September 30, 2015, when Ford's shares had sunk to a little over 2% due to stock dilution, Ford sold its remaining shares in Mazda.
