Good if this means more interesting vehicles for our market but I have a feeling that Ford is not looking beyond Left Hand Drive markets like US, Europe and China… For the record, I’m glad to be proven wrong on this…(I often am) Last edited by jpd80; Today at 09:56 AM. |

There'll be a different CEO next year anyway who is like a Roomba that hits a road block and goes beep boop and turns off in a different direction
That company can't make a decision and stick with it, it's like it has corporate autism |

Regulators can regulate all they want but governments need voters to stay in power and if voters aren't buying pure EV's they are not going to like being forced into it....self-interest is a powerful incentive.

of their most talented conventional vehicle engineering and development staff down the road. Now Jim Farley realises his mistake and wants to change course…..great, now go out and try to hire everyone back. On a lot of this I just don’t know anymore, I used to think that corporates hired smart researchers to keep their finger on the pulse of what customers want but the more I look, it’s all about carmakers making the most profit on fewest necessary builds, everyone else not the buyer. |

I take it you don’t like Rangers and Everest’s JPD?
Cause that’s all they have presently. Chickens are going to come home to roost for Ford Ute Aus soon And I am seeing a lot of Rangers and Everests in rental car fleets here on the Gc. |
