  37. derbigpr500 I know this is Europe,and the difference in quality between Focus built in USA and Europe is only in base variants and engines used, rest all is same, in fact USA has a better SYNC 3 system than the ugly SYNC 2 in Europe Focus in Europe or USA is heavily flawed, European Ford engineers suck when it comes to packaging space inside cars The Fiesta,Focus,new Mondeo are clear examples, all 3 have some of the least legroom and head room in class, boot space too sucks big time for Fiesta and Focus despite both being longer and wheelbase too being longer than something like Golf/Astra Then comes fit finish, even in European Focus there are lots of grey shiny plastics used, and fit and finish is terrible compared to even Renaults, at least they could be using dark grey plastic like in Renaults dont bother whether its hard or not handling too is not upto mark nowadays in Focus compared to Mazdas Also I ve found most new Fords are over weights, new Mondeo Titanium Sport weighs a whopping 1790 kg, the new Passat which is far far far better in interior quality,fit finish, refinement,space,and can easily match Mondeos driving quality is just 1700 kg on highline trim,I dont know how cheap plastics weigh so much in Fords same is the case of new Golf/Octavia vs Focus, Focus 2.0 TDCi Sport weighs a whopping 1546 kg as opposed to 1511 kg of DSG MK 7 Golf Highline,I cant understand this as well So I think Ford is far far behind the competition, SPACE is LUXURY, Ford still dosent understand this, they make cars that are large outside but small inside

  63. sic22l So whats ur point, America is bad and Europe is better, bull shit See I am from Taiwan, my job is DCP so I ve got to travel to lot of places and wherever I go I can find MK III Focus while the MK II was strictly European which means less appeal to other markets U must understand that Focus MK II had big issues with refinement and comfort,maybe after being in Europe for long U r accustomed to it, but reality is far away, the MK II was terribly stiff for crappy roads, specially at low speeds, so if people need to take it it needs a comfy ride which the MK III has , the MK II had crappy plastics inside, the MK II has better, the MK III Focus is better in lot of aspects inside out except for cabin space The reason Y Focus is fading in sales is not because MK III is bad, but because the competition has grown leaps and bounds over the Focus Just look at the new MK 7 Golf, its got uber quality interior yet its lighter than the Ford on average by 60-90 kgs The Golf is safer,its smarter, its more spacious,more refined as well new Astra too is the same case, new Mazda 3 is same as Focus but has better interior design,functionality and better front end because its lighter and we all know Fords FWD cars had a lot in common with Mazdas See the Focus being global is actually very good, Thailand,Taiwan,China,Australia,South Africa,New Zealand,USA,South AMerica... all these places the MK II was damn failure but MK III was a success, U cannot hold on to handling and make a car better. 1 must move with time as the Focus MK III did, but now what Ford needs badly is a new chassis and design and interior and luckily a new 1 is coming by 2018, till then the current model will slowly fade I am 10000000000% sure if Ford had sold the MK II Focus in USA, it would have failed so damn hard that the loss it would have made would have been terrible

  77. ***** Again SPACE is LUXURY for a common man, See just check a lot of emerging families, like 40 yr old with kids in teens, the teens nowadays are TALL, and Fiestas back seats were terrible in terms of under thigh support, under feet space, pure legroom as well What Ford did with new KA+ is take old MK V Fiesta platform put slimmer seats, raised them so that there is more foot space and more knee room, Now why all this, because even a small family should be able to drive a Ford at 10k, if there is an original KA like car from Ford it will cater only a minority of population who look for fun drives, the KA+ on the other hand is partly FUN as its based on MK V Fiesta , practical, economical, cheap ro maintain and BUY The new Fiesta is the new expression of Ford, its for some 1 who wants a FORD car, the KA+ is for some 1 who want a basic transportation, there is more +ve logic here than making a tiny car for all masses, By 2018 Focus too will go big and with more space and premium features and gadgets etc, this phenomenon will trickle to all classes The new Nissan Micra is an example, its going to be priced around 13k pounds, which used to be in the sub 10k range, The new upcoming VW Polo too is moving up market, see there is a saying "when U go to the land where people eat snakes, dont hesitate eat the best snakes" in short survival should be primary If Ford stays and satisfies enthusiasts and cheeky customers alone, the next time an economic recession comes, it will fall apart, The new Fiesta ensures more profit per car while KA+ will give less profit per car, so the balance will be achieved... but bigger point is there will always be customer for both KA+ and Fiesta however tuff market may get

  104. First I am not American and English isnt my 1st language, not even 2nd language, so bear with my grammar as long as U understand what I am talkin about 2nd I am calm and I am happy because , all these tariffs and trade wars didnt just affect me, but affected the American business more, those pompous American bitches came back to me as the raw materials MADE IN USA are around 167% pricier than the price I gave em, so let the Trump community and America suffer Now you say Ford did it just because the market shift is towards SUVS and cross overs, true thats one reason, but not the entire reason, remember Ford had plans for building sedans, ie Focus,Fusion in Mexico, Ford planned to sell MK VIII Focus from China to US, but tariffs, Ford had plans to make all this true, but the government and its policies were so against em that they couldnt keep a straight lead, also do understand that Ford Mo Co too has lot of Trump shits working on em, its not like the CEO says, do this and all will obey, there was a HUGE conflict in between Ford itself because of Trump fans vs others inside Ford, all this led to wide open splits between Fords Euro operatives and ASEAN operations, finally they decided lets pack off sedans from US, Do remember that Fusion,Focus , Continental were not at all bad sellers, they constantly remained among the top 5 selling cars in US, so even a 5th spot in sales wouldnt hurt , dont think Ford is foolish enough to phase out sedans in US just because cross overs and SUVs were booming, also just understand that Ford has launched the MK VIII Fiesta, MK IV Focus in Europe, China,some ASEAN countries, and Australia, basically everywhere other than USA, also there markets except Europe are the ones that have higher shift towards SUVs than in USA because predominantly US roads are long wide better paved roads, so its clearly a case of policies, Ford dosent want to build a mega factory for sedans and hatch backs in US, also Ford is not willing to sell Mexico/China/Euro built Fords at a 25% premium over rivals, now regarding GM, its not that easy, U know GM has Buick,GMC,too working under em, so just phasing out Cruze,Impala,etc will decrease the market share by nearly 11% crucially that will put them below Ford in market share, to avoid that only they are continuing sedans, all that said http://www.autonews.com/article/20180404/OEM01/180409856/gm-ford-to-drop-4-car-nameplates-report-says https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/29/bmw-to-hike-prices-on-x5-x6-suvs-in-china-to-cope-with-tariffs.html https://www.fxstreet.com/analysis/bmw-to-move-us-production-to-china-more-winning-coming-200b-trump-response-201807110526 See its not JUST Ford, everybody is affected, WHY, actually you wont understand how much of an issue Trump has created unless you ve been running a cross country business
