Ford CEO Alan Mulally Calls TTAC
No biggie. A social call to one of our writers, thanking him for the infotainment. Needless to say, we tried to get Big Al to tell us something, anything newsworthy. Nada. Not a sausage. Still, I remember when I started this website. Back in the day, Peter DeLorenzo hyped his Autoextremist site with banners proclaiming “Bob Reads It,” “Rick reads it” and… what was it again? “Tom?” “Dieter?” I wondered if a) it was true and b) TTAC would ever gain sufficient prominence to catch the ear of the ultimate insiders. So, anyway, it’s another milestone for TTAC. Suffice it to say, talking to the industry swells will not give us swell heads. We will never forget that our first, indeed our only obligation is to you, our readers. In that spirit, when we hit the North American International Auto Show, we will do our level best to report the truth about cars. As always. Meanwhile, if Mr. Mulally could call us back re: an interview, I’d be most appreciative.

RF, Any chance of a redacted/anonymous report of your IP logs? Nothing special---just some data on automakers' domains that consistently visit would be interesting.
Al: Put the 3.5 in the Fusion!! Build the best sedan you can--damn the concept of cannibalization! Put the 3.5 in the Fusion!!
I guess we should all appreciate Big Al for publicly acknowledging this site. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuNlEGbAKf0&feature=related
