We only question exactly what that motive is.
Uhhh, selling cars. Even when they were building moving horror shows like the Pinto and (early) Explorer, selling cars was the motivation.

I admit to being a bit of a 'Ford guy', having grown up loving racing and in the 60's, when Ford and Shelby were joining forces and beating the world; I still think the original GT40 is one of the most beautiful cars ever made. But these days it really does seem to me that FoMoCo has their act pretty well together. Truly innovative advances, real products instead of delayed promises, not having to take government handouts. Pretty impressive to me, considering it's the same company that gave us the Mustang II. But like I said, I'm a bit biased.
