If that was his intent, bad move. Usually the stock price of the acquiring
company (the company spending the money to buy) goes down.

Either 33% of Toyota or 51% of Honda are worth more than all of Ford.


Market
Capitalization
$Billion

49.3 Honda
129.0 Toyota
24.2 Ford
21.0 GM
47.1 DaimlerChrysler

Ford would be doing well just to keep their bonds from falling to junk
grade.

That's where my 1986 Chevy Nova was built which is basically the same as the
Toyota Corolla. My brothers and me most have gotten into about 4 accidents
per year until the lease ended and we returned the car (All three of us got
our licensed within a few weeks of each other and a few month later, we got
the Nova). It's too bad that the dealership didn't put the car up on a hoist
before taking it back. But back then, leasing was a fairly new
concept....even for the dealerships.

Does that mean Honda will start selling Expeditions and Navigators -- under
a Honda badge like the Passport. Boggles the mind. Seriously doubt Honda
would contaminate itself.

Inside news, not yet public, rumours that Ford is working on a 200hp 4
cylinder engine that would go into the anemic Ford Focus and Honda
Civics. The 2006/2007 Hondas would also be built on the Focus
platform, just badged different but basically the same car.

No, the guys at Ford I spoke with said that they wanna launch a direct
competition to the Pontiac Vibe. It is hoping to gain more market
share by launching Civics on the Focus platform.

Wasn't the last rumor here that GM wanted to buy Honda. I'm
assuming these are all trolls. First, Honda has always fiercely
maintained their independence. Second, Honda's market
capitalization is bigger than that of both GM and Ford combined
(as of today, $48.2B vs $20.7B and $24.0B respectively). So, if
anything, I would think it would be Honda doing the buying ;-)
