Ford Motor Company is based in Dearborn, Michigan, United States. It has manufacturing operations in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Turkey, the United States, and South Africa. Ford currently operates in over 100 international countries. Ford sells the same models across countries; however, only some countries sell every model. Some models are similar but with different names. Other models are only offered in certain countries. This is likely due to the needs within that country. In most countries, consumers prefer smaller vehicles for navigating the roads and running errands. Some countries are so densely populated that making larger cars would be useless because there is nowhere to park. In the US market, interest rates have increased to stop inflation. This negatively impacts car sales because cars usually depreciate in time, unlike homes. So, higher interest rates on a depreciating asset means people will only buy if needed. Lower interest rates have been blamed for inflation; however, lower interest rates may increase car sales
