Is Ford in bed with everyone?

Sort of. As well as Mazda, it's joining up with Fiat to build the next Ka. Or rather, the Blue Oval's bought the platform and that’s covered Fiat’s development cost for the 500. A shrewd deal by the Italians. But while Ford is forming alliances around the globe, it's also divesting itself of various British companies. After the Aston Martin sell-off Ford is still looking for a taker for Land Rover/Jaguar, and possibly Volvo too. We'll know more this autumn.
