Replying to: jeffyscott (Aug 31, 2007 7:03 pm) Ummmm...so then why is Mazda listed at ford.com under "our familiy of brands"? Because Mazda is considered a "partner" or "global partner" with Ford.

Replying to: aviboy97 (Sep 04, 2007 7:25 am) The 33.4% is apparently considered to be a "controlling interest" because a 2/3 super majority is required under the corporation's rules. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlling_interest

Replying to: jeffyscott (Sep 04, 2007 9:38 am) It does not take a rocket scientist to see what Mazda has done on their own, without having Ford dictate what they want. Ford went and bought up shares of various companies, such as Volvo, AM, Land Rover, Mazda etc...for the purpose of profit and technology sharing. That is why these companies are considered by Ford to be "global partners". While then maintain "controlling interest" of Mazda, the transaction was designed to share technology and increase profit. Not to make them the Japanese version of Ford Mo Co.... first off, Wikipedia can be altered at anytime by anyone, so, you need to be careful on what they say. Ford does have controlling interest, but, precisely what they have or have not told Mazda to do is unknown. That is why I said "some say".

That does not change the fact that I am the owner, I am in control and have as much say as I would like over what the company does. And I verified the wiki info elsewhere, before posting a link. That was just the clearest statment in a single place that I ran across.

Mazda and Ford - The viewpoint of Sotoh Tatsumi 2009 Mazda6 will have some shared Ford technology and yet will be distinctively a Mazda. No worries.

Replying to: jeffyscott (Sep 04, 2007 3:49 pm) I only threw in my tid bit of info on how the company might be run, because many here think that Ford having controlling interest makes Mazda a bad company, and commonly mistakes Mazda products as rebadged Fords. Which is totally untrue. |
