Ford to shed 240 local jobs, cut production as demand slumps

[prydey]

very rarely does a company axe models that are selling. rtv was obviously not viable. they can't continue to make products to cater to the few.

i know its unfortunate for those few that did buy them, but car manufacturers are in the business of making money.

up until 6 mnths ago, i've always had ford wagons. i sold my bf2 egas and bought my fg xr6. i'm leaving on a holiday on friday and have just spent the last hour dummy fitting the boot with luggage to make sure everything can fit. you will never find me whinging about lack of falcon wagon. i understand why there isn't one. being a blue blood i won't look elsewhere either which is why we will make do with a sedan. a territory wasn't an option as they are too thirsty on the juice for an everyday family car and once a year highway cruiser.

so my situation isn't a lot different to many. ford stopped making a product that i'd always bought, but thats life.
