''We're trying to take a leadership position as best we can on the E-commerce side in all aspects,'' Ford spokesman John Spelich said. ''Using the Internet as a cutting-edge tool is important. This was one more opportunity to do that.'' However, a DaimlerChrysler AG (DCX - news)(quote from Yahoo!

Given Ford may some day conduct its annual meeting solely in cyberspace, Chairman Bill Ford Jr. said in a statement.
