合资品牌今年的动作是越来越多了。 这两天，福特宣布了个不小的事儿，他们要在上海成立一家全资子公司，这个公司会负责福特乘用车和皮卡车型在中国市场的营销、销售和服务业务。 而且这次福特动作很快，新公司刚宣布成立，马上10月1日就要开始运营。 为啥这么说呢？给大伙儿交代下背景。 大家知道福特之前卖车基本上都是通过合资品牌来弄的，福特现在在中国有两家合资企业，长安福特和江铃福特。 这几位也是合作多年的老搭档了。江铃早在1995年就和福特搭上钩，福特经典的大面包全顺，就是江铃福特生产的。不过那会儿它俩其实没有合资，而是 福特入股江铃，所以可以看到全顺的屁股上写的是"江铃汽车"。 长安福特则是在2001年成立，它这就是正规合资大军了，负责我们熟悉的福克斯、锐界这些车型。 那个时候，外国车企在中国有两家合作方很正常，像什么大众、丰田、本田也都是。 福特这俩合作，本来定位区分也比较开。长安福特主要做家用车品类，那些年福特在国内的销量大头都是长安福特贡献的；江铃福特这边是从商用车切 入。 脖子哥一听这个信息就觉得：好事，绝对的好事，福特这是开始上道了啊。 虽然都在卖福特，但因为两边产品没啥交集，彼此从制造到销售，也是相对独立的 ...
