I think my Ford Probe was made there back in the early '90's.

Here's the thread:

Edit: theres also Danny's post on page 3

That says they run 68 cars/hr, which I'm assuming is at AAI. His location is listed as FL, though, which casts doubt on that.

Edit #2: Its not shared by Mazda and Ford anymore. It is now Mustang only.

You might be right ... but I don't think so. I'm pretty sure I read that all other production at AAI was being phased out by the time the Mustang production started.

There's a HUGE banner on the side of the AAI building saying "The Mazda 6 is built here"

All the papers and reports around here have all said they were both being built there.

Flat Rock plant's future brighter with Mustang

This article mentions that both will be produced, a quote from the article:

"With the Mustang, along with the Mazda6 sedan currently coming off the production line, AAI is expected to be running full tilt by late next year. "

With Mazda still owning half the plant, I doubt that they would agree to Mustang being the only vehicle produced there.

We know for a fact that AAI is building the 05 Mustang. It is also the only plant doing so.

edit: Ask your friend wants to post info, that would be great.
