AutoAlliance International
AutoAlliance International (AAI) is the name of a joint venture automobile assembly firm co-owned by Ford Motor Company and Mazda Motor Corporation. Located in Flat Rock, Michigan, Mazda purchased Ford's unused Michigan Casting Center for production of 626 sedans. AAI later produced the Mazda MX-6, Ford Probe, and Mazda 626. Ford bought 50% of the plant back, and it built the Ford Mondeo-derived Mercury Cougar. It now produces the Mazda Mazda6 and is scheduled to assemble the next version of the Ford Mustang in 2005.
The plant opened in September of 1997 as Mazda Motor Manufacturing (USA). It became a joint-venture and was renamed in 1992.
