Déjà Vu: Is Ford Repeating One of Its Biggest Mistakes?
It's difficult to believe it's been about 16 years since the Great Recession that nearly brought the automotive industry to its knees. It was a massive wake-up call, and executives at Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) and General Motors (NYSE: GM) drastically adjusted their organizations and strategies from top to bottom.
While Ford was lauded for how it funded its way through the rough times, and the company has done so much correctly over the years, it could be about to make the same mistake that got it into trouble years ago.
Over the past few years, Ford did something that was considered controversial when it phased out all passenger cars other than the Mustang in North America, its primary profit engine. The idea was simple: Trucks and SUVs only cost marginally more to produce than passenger cars and can sell for two or three times as much.
