    If this was the 1990s that might have worked, but today is different for Mexico. There are hundreds of factory’s now and do you think Mexicans are going to want to work for a company that moved from America for not paying it’s workers enough? Also one of Ford’s main advertising points is that the cars are made in America, not very smart to destroy your advertising. Conditions are always changing in the world, it’s best to keep an eye of them lest you get left behind.

      Ford’s vehicles are not all made in the USA already. A little basic research goes a long way before sprouting nonsense.

        That would not work. The English speaking world doesn’t use America like that Ford would get sued as operations would still be in the US and lose.

        They downvoted you, but in Spanish speaking countries, America is a single continent, with North, South, center and Caribbean just being regions

          I dunno what Spanish speaking country you’re from, but every Spanish speaker I’ve ever known has used “America” to casually refer to the USA.

            Soy de México y le dicen Estados Unidos en todo latino América

            Here’s a meme from a chilean cartoonist:

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent

            The six-continent combined-America model is taught in Greece and many Romance-speaking countries—including Latin America.[34][42]
