“The world needs more Soul. Every day it seems like more and more negativity fills our screens and people are becoming increasingly divided. But it’s time to change that. It’s time to celebrate our differences and unite. In the latest Kia Soul commercial, we see the Hamsters bring different people and cultures together through the power of music, and put more positivity out in the world.”

GM and Ford to Jointly Develop Advanced Automatic Transmissions
2013-04-15

DETROIT – Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Co. have signed an agreement under which both companies will jointly develop an all-new generation of advanced technology 9- and 10-speed automatic transmissions for cars, crossovers, SUVs and trucks.

The new transmissions, to be built in both front- and rear-wheel drive variants, will improve vehicle performance and increase fuel economy.

The collaboration enables both automakers to design, develop, engineer, test, validate and deliver these new transmissions for their vehicles faster and at lower cost than if each company worked independently.

“Engineering teams from GM and Ford have already started initial design work on these new transmissions,” said Jim Lanzon, GM vice president of global transmission engineering. “We expect these new transmissions to raise the standard of technology, performance and quality for our customers while helping drive fuel economy improvements into both companies’ future product portfolios.”
