Wow! Hopefully they can get Ford turned around and back on the right track. That company has so much potential...

proving ground for cars... MS6... brand new engine with no advertising. anyways, as much as i dislike Ford, a part of me wants them to do well, maybe because they still own Mazda.

Maybe instead of Zoom-Zoom.. we'll hear a Vroom-Vroom campain.. sorry had to say it.. forgive me 
Well I havent been following mazda's goings corporate wise but if thats true with what ya said Zoom then they are surely recognizing the fact that Mazda did/is doing somethign right in the way they are handling the brand. Something Ford needs to do.
