So Ford is saving $900,000,000.00 by not building in Mexico? Why didn't Trump convince them to put the whole $1.6 billion into America instead of less than half?

They are using the existing plant
Ask snakeyes, he knows this stuff...
I think it is the River Run facility
They do not have to build a new facility where as in Mexico, they needed a new building
Makes sense

Yeah, but the Taladega ran with the even better BOSS 429
It dominated (Mercury Cyclone also) in 1969

Ford cancels $1.6 billion Mexican plant after Trump criticism
Reuters 2 minutes 32 seconds ago
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Ford Motor Co (F.N) said Tuesday it will cancel a planned $1.6 billion factory in Mexico and will invest $700 million at a Michigan factory, after it had come under harsh criticism from President-elect Donald Trump for its Mexican investment plans.
A Ford source said the Trump team was told this morning about the decision. It was influenced by Trump's policy goals such as lowering taxes and regulations but there were no negotiations between Ford and the Republican over the decision to cancel the Mexico plant or invest in Michigan, the source said.

I don't see it....Charger is a rectangle, rear panels are nothing similar, nor the grille.....Charger looks a lot more like a Rambler Marlin that a Torino looking like a Charger.
