Its a sad day in Ford land, just after we got acustom to these exciting cars and a bit of variety its all over. Thats what happens when people hate a particular brand, im sick of trying to defend Ford to people, its just hard work.
It is hard work!!! But, i think the general perception is changing largely as ford engineer better all round models...not because of 'niche' cars. Territory Turbo never sold in very high numbers and niether did XR5T mondeo. Ford can use the money saves (and this is a example not what will really happen literally) to invest in better quality LCD screens with better user interfaces for its next gen focus/falcon etc. and that will sell more cars. It really will. The enthusiast is being shut out guys just face it. Thankfully the 'base' engines are more competitive than ever so it could be worse. You could be a holden fan about now...oh i'm so excited about my brand's future, what with the great SIDI V6s and our very competitive V8s versus Ford's rubbish Coyote V8.....oh wait...that's not right (extreme sarcasm intended)....
