ford ownes a very small share of mazda


Amidst the world financial crisis in the fall of 2008, reports emerged that Ford was contemplating a sale of its stake in Mazda as a way of streamlining its asset base [5]. BusinessWeek explained the alliance between Ford and Mazda has been a very successful one, with Mazda saving perhaps $90 million a year in development costs and Ford "several times" that, and that a sale of its stake in Mazda would be a desperate measure.[6] On November 18 2008 Ford announced that it would be selling a 20% stake in Mazda bringing its stake to 13.4%, and surrendering control of the company. [7][8] The following day Mazda announced that, as part of the deal, it was buying back 6.8% of its shares from Ford
 
yes it's a japanese company but ford bought a part of it quite a few years ago. some of the mazda and ford cars shared the chasis, that made some ford cars ride a lot better than the regular stiffer ford chasis. and for example the mazda truck shared the chasis from the ranger.
