GM, Ford Alliance Talks Mark Auto-Industry Shift Aborted Discussions Reflect Inroads by Foreign Firms, Pressure From Shareholders By MONICA LANGLEY, NEAL E. BOUDETT and JEFFREY MCCRACKEN September 19, 2006; Page A3 Aborted talks between General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co. about a possible alliance demonstrate the sweeping changes in the global auto industry and the once-unthinkable alternatives Detroit's traditional giants are willing to consider to stay competitive. The No. 1 and No. 2 U.S. auto makers by market share briefly discussed the concept of an alliance but dropped the idea and plan no further talks, people familiar with the matter said. Their chief financial officers, Frederick "Fritz" Henderson of GM and Don Leclair of Ford, discussed the idea, these people said. The talks were reported yesterday by Automotive News, a trade publication. 19日付の米紙ウォールストリート・ジャーナルの記事だ。
