Default Re: Ford Endura/Edge Reportedly Cancelled.

Here's a drive article that confirms our feelings for the Terry:

https://www.drive.com.au/new-car-rev...trackLink=SMH2

"For all its merits, the Ford Endura hasn't been the replacement for the much-loved Ford Territory that Aussies were hoping for. So where to from here?
Ford Territory owners have been searching for a genuine replacement for the Australian-made seven-seater since it went out of production in 2016.

While rivals such as the Toyota Kluger, Mazda CX-9, Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento all have their merits, none quite hit the spot in terms of the Ford Territory's drivability.

But what about the Territory's pseudo showroom replacement, the Endura?

To be fair to Ford, the big SUV, as illustrated by our 2020 Ford Endura ST-Line, was never meant to be a direct replacement for the Territory. Instead, Ford hedged its bets, hoping the heavy-duty Everest four-wheel drive would appeal to the seven-seater market and the Endura would appeal to those who wanted a car-like, family SUV with only five seats.

Unfortunately, with these two models, Ford fired a couple of arrows either side of the Territory and didn’t hit the target.

The Everest is not as roomy as a Territory and drives like an off-roader due to its heavy-duty underpinnings, while the Endura lacks the third row and comes with a high price.

Which possibly explains why the Ford Endura hasn’t resonated with buyers as much as the company had hoped. The model has already been pulled from the UK (where it is called the Ford Edge) and its future in Australia remains unclear."
