It sounds like they are trying to reduce sales to make room on the production line for the Puma ev

It still surprises me though that they walked away from Aus sales of Puma and Escape

4000 odd sales they don’t need
Death by a thousand cuts, you leave market share to everyone else, oh this only sells a few units, get rid of it, this only sells a few units, get rid of it, this only sells a few units, get rid of it.

Then you end up like Isuzu with a 2 model range, and it leaves you exposed to legislation changes cropping up out of the blue.

Have a look at Toyota, they dominate the sales figures because they offer 20+ options to the market, they have something for everyone (if you've had a lobotomy and enjoy driving park benches).

How Ford treats Australia reminds me of GM and their entire RHD market pull-out.
