		They've been used to a culture that is much older than that of Visteon, where the rules were in place for so long that they seem to be carved on stone tablets.

	Ford to Bail Out Visteon and Take Over 24 Plants - New York Times
		Ford and Visteon were not fully separated in the spinoff, and Ford has repeatedly been forced to act as a lifeline for Visteon, which has lost more than $3 billion since it became independent.
		One of the quirks of Ford's Visteon spinoff was that Ford employees assigned to Visteon were receiving the far higher wages of assembly workers as opposed to the much lower wages of supply workers.
		Visteon's shares surged more than 16 percent after the deal with Ford was announced, trading up $1.03, to $7.30, this afternoon on the New York Stock Exchange.

	Visteon Eyes Electric Supercharger
		Visteon engineers are working with customers on engine projects for 2005-2006 that will use the Visteon Torque Enhancement System, or VTES, with a 12/14-volt electrical system.
		Visteon views VTES as a transitional system between today's engines and future gas or diesel/electric hybrid systems, but it predicts that hybrids will have less than 5% of the market in 2010.
		Thus, Visteon developed its program with Europe in mind, where engines are smaller than in the U.S. Most European car buyers express interest in enhancing performance, rather than downsizing, says Visteon, and there is more interest in enhancing turbodiesel engines than in boosting gasoline engines.
