BEIJING - Ford Motor Co. (F) said Thursday that it plans to sell
five U.S.-made Lincoln models by 2016 through 60 dealerships in 50
cities in China.
The Dearborn, Mich., auto maker's premium brand currently
doesn't have a formal presence.
In the longer term, Ford hopes eventually to make Lincoln cars
in China, said Ford Chief Executive Alan Mulally, speaking on
Thursday in Beijing. That would help it better compete with market
giants Audi AG, BMW AG and Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz.
