Oh, to clarify another point. Ford currently owns the following foreign brands outright:
Aston Martin
Jaguar
Volvo (automotive operations only; the truck line is still Swedish-owned)
Land Rover
Mazda is still a semi-independent entity, as Ford has not yet purchased the rest of its holdings, but the 33-percent stake does give them control of the Mazda board.
