Visteon also was named to two of the publication's specialty lists -- ranking
among the top-10 companies for Asian Americans and for gay, lesbian, bisexual
and transgender employees.

"Visteon is honored to be recognized by DiversityInc as a company committed to
diversity in all aspects of our business," said Mike Johnston, Visteon
president and chief executive officer.

"When Visteon became an independent automotive supplier in 2000, the company
established diversity as one of its core values, as well a leadership standard
by which the management team is held accountable," explained Johnston, who is
also co-chairman of the Visteon Executive Diversity Council.

"The attributes that make us unique individuals -- culture, ethnicity, race,
gender, age, life experiences and beliefs -- allow us to provide each other
with insights that might not otherwise be realized," he added.

Companies selected to the DiversityInc Top-50 list excel in several key areas,
particularly their commitment to create a more inclusive workforce, according
to DiversityInc.

DiversityInc's Top-50 list reflects what is considered to be one of the most
in-depth analyses of corporate diversity management, leadership and marketing. 
The analysis is based on responses to more than 200 detailed questions in four
key areas, including CEO commitment, human capital, employee engagement and
supplier diversity.  More than 200 companies participated in the 2005 ratings. 
Visteon is the only automotive supplier to make the list.

Visteon's recognition for diversity is, in part, due to its employee
engagement.  Employees of the company have initiated and chartered seven
employee resource groups including the African Ancestry Network; Arab Resource
Network; Asian Indian Association; Asia Pacific Employee Network; Hispanic
Network; Gay, Lesbian or Bisexual employees; and Woman in Visteon.  These
groups support networking, continuing education, career development, social
activities and community outreach.

"Only by sharing our diverse cultures and backgrounds can Visteon reach its
full potential," said Gary Mayo, chairman of the Visteon African Ancestry
Network and director of corporate social responsibility for the company. "Every
individual, as well as each cultural group, has a unique contribution to
offer."

Visteon Corporation is a leading full-service supplier that delivers
consumer-driven technology solutions to automotive manufacturers worldwide and
through multiple channels within the global automotive aftermarket.  Visteon
has about 70,000 employees and a global delivery system of more than 200
