Does ford still consider Mazda to be part of their company?

[abelard29]

By Japanese law only 35% of a company can be owned by foreigners.
But I remember reading something about ford's family of brands, which included Mazda,Volvo, Aston-Martin, Jaguar, Daimler, Land Rover, Mercury, and Lincoln, as well as sterling trucks.

On November 18, 2010, Ford reduced its stake to 3%, citing the reduction of ownership would allow greater flexibility to pursue growth in emerging markets. Ford and Mazda remain strategic partners through joint ventures and exchanges of technological information.

They still own a small part of Mazda but not as much as they use to. They also sold Volvo to a chinese company, Aston martin was sold to a group of british investors. Jaguar and Land Rover was sold to TA TA motors of india and Mercury was discontinued , They still have Lincoln ....................&&&
