Wow, lots of union hate here.

Yes. Longbridge is only one of several plants which had inefficiencies, union trouble, poor management, etc., and the upper management of all the major manufacturers kind of sucked, to use a technical term. Longbridge may have been the biggest example, but there were many.
Yes, and it doesn't make sense.
Yet somehow a company that can attribute at least 75% of its racing success to someone else's work is good enough for number 1? Go ahead and name a proper Ford racing car that wasn't done by Cosworth, Lotus, Shelby, Etc. Etc.
How does Saab make it to the list and not any of these? What about McLaren? This list is more erroneous than your other article about a fiesta with same power to weight ratio as a 458.
But they don't have a racing history greater than BMW or Jaguar. It shouldn't be on the list.
Agreed. No BMW or Jaguar, way to show your lack of any credibility with this list you threw together!
Audi, Jaguar, Aston Martin and BMW certainly worth a mention.
They had to sacrifice a few legit ones to get Saab in ...
Sorry Mate, but I think you've got the top 2 mixed up. Yes, Ford used to race a lot, but they don't as much anymore (Nascar, V8SC, Touring cars). They don't run GT3 or higher anywhere on earth in sports cars, and they're not in rallying anymore. Plus they only really ran LeMans for a few years in the 60s and 80s.
and
you're right. guess not enough.
I think you'll going to get a lot of pushback from people with Ford at the top, especially with Ferrari at 3 (hooray people getting upset about meaningless things on the internet!), but I think your tagline to the Ford entry kind of nails it: ubiquity. They're simply everywhere, and have been successful in most of…
But....
Long before V-TEC and the bros, Honda kicked in big time. And they still do, be that on two-wheels or four.
Yup, Ferrari wouldn't exist at all without racing.
No Jaguar? They did their best work mostly at Le Mans (C and D types, XJR-9 and its bloodline) but had some other successes with XJSs in the late 70s and early 80s. On the other hand, the less said about Jaguar F1 the better.
You don't pick controversial topis to represent every employee in the company. We all have different beliefs and the guys is an idiot for not understanding that in a first place.
