Will he drive a Ford?

Alan Mulally, Ford Motor Company new CEO, said Wednesday that he canceled his order for a Lexus after taking the position with Ford Motor Co., and he respects Toyota Motor Corp. and its luxury brand, Lexus. Mulally also said he deeply admires the Japanese automaker for its manufacturing processes and product development strategy and called Toyota "the finest machine in the world, the finest production system in the world". Like I said previously in my earlier post, the Toyota Camry is one reason the Japanese are "eating our lunch". For the upper income folks, the Lexus is the reason our "lunch is eaten" by the Japanese. I am glad to see that the Ford CEO recognises that reality. The question now is: Will Mulally bring himself to drive a Ford?
