Synopsis

The Ford Motor Company continues to be in a very public high wire balancing act to revive the company. And about the only experts it hasn’t turned to for help are the Flying Wallendas! But when it comes down to it, maybe it’s less about the walk than it is about the drive...especially when that drive needs to be a phalanx of new Ford product that is both cutting edge and competitive.

Well, the company may not be there just yet, but it’s getting close. That’s what Cisco Codina, Ford’s North American Marketing, Sales and Service Chief, tells Autoline Detroit this week. With the Edge, Fusion and resurrected Taurus leading the way, and the new Ford Flex just down the road with more to come, Codina believes the product will finally help lead the company off the high wire and back onto solid ground.
