QUOTE
FORD just reported earnings this Thursday morning, along with the following statements from a news article ...
'The company also announced that it will bring six European small car models to North America by the end of 2012 as it deals with a market shift from trucks to cars ... will retool two more U.S. truck and sport utility vehicle plants to build small, fuel-efficient vehicles.
Ford said it will retool the Michigan Truck plant in suburban Detroit, shifting its products from large SUVs to make global vehicles off the European Focus platform by 2010.
The company also will retool the Louisville Assembly Plant, which now builds the Ford Explorer midsize SUV, to produce vehicles on the European Focus frame, starting in 2011.
