I'm not sure whether Ford owns Mazda, however, I can tell you that the engine in a Ford Probe is made by Mazda. The Ford Probe shares the same engine as the Mazda 626, & the MX6. The automatic transmission in the 626 & MX6 is made by Ford.
Also,the next generation of the Mazda 626 (the Mazda 6) will have a Ford engine.
