Visteon's Clone Cluster 1 Team was one of six individuals and teams recognized
with Summit Awards by Visteon Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Peter J.
Pestillo and President and Chief Operating Officer Michael F. Johnston.

The Team was honored for the successful cloning of Visteon's finance
applications and their migration from Ford to Visteon servers.  Visteon was
spun-off from Ford in 2000.  The project, the first of four phases in Visteon's
IT separation, required an extraordinary degree of collaboration by a
cross-functional team that included 46 members of Visteon IT, Visteon Business,
IT Alliance Partners, Ford IT, and Ford Business.  The massive effort was
accomplished within an aggressive timetable and minimal business disruption.

The Clone Cluster 1 Team was chosen from among 46 individuals and teams,
representing eight countries, that received quarterly awards in 2003 for
outstanding performance under Visteon's Leading the Way Recognition program.

"Visteon is committed to establishing a collaborative, performance-driven
culture in which we recognize and celebrate the success of individuals and teams
achieving breakthrough performance," Pestillo said.  "I am very proud of
Visteon's first Summit Award winners.  It was no easy task selecting just six
winners, as each of the nominees demonstratedexemplary performance."

Johnston said the achievements of the Summit Award winners represent the "best
of the best" of Visteon's accomplishments in 2003.  "The Clone Cluster 1 Team
and all of our Summit Award winners demonstrate the energy, perseverance and
ability to execute that will be hallmarks of Visteon's future success," he
noted.

Launched in 2003, the Leading the Way recognition program honors employees who
demonstrate exemplary performance, accomplishments or behavior that is
significantlyabove-and-beyond expectations, or results that produce noticeable
improvement in areas such as quality, value to the customer, speed and people.

associated with the Leading the Wayprogram.
