The interiors weren’t exactly best in class either. Functional maybe, but just seemed they built it to a price. |

All subjective
I think all 3 look good But powershift drama s in prev models prob damaged focus And Puma and Escape don’t think Ford Ute Aus could get any stock from Ford Eur so they didn’t bother marketing or advertising … good cars gone bye bye |

The real test will be the new Prado. The less conservative styling might do well in that segment. Will be interesting to see Everest numbers against that.

Prado has never been a looker so it won’t matter, it’s their distribution and return business and fleet.
Ford hardly over turns them but for Ranger getting ahead of them in advancements originally. There has hardly been a Toy flop of the popular volume models even with recalls dpf dogs they keep re climbing the step ladder. Always a challenge but they recover ground lost or near enough.

more Focus buyers to a more profitable vehicle. It matters little as Ford Europe has cut a lot of the Euro 5 versions and Australia can’t import Euro 6 compliant vehicles until the fuel available here in about 18 months. Don’t get me wrong, I’m in the camp that would love to see more compact fords here, America/Mexico exports to us would be helpful if the vehicles were designed in RHD… What a cluster, a RHD Maverick and Bronco Sport would be interesting models to sell here but absolutely not on the radar unless big changes happen. It’s clear that Ford has a set its plan on highly profitable Ranger /Everest sales, that success at least gives Ford a chance to at least look at a business plan for more vehicles but then, governments pushing like crazy with electrification sure doesn’t help. |
