Everest is Australian designed..it should be revealed in Australia or at least at the same time in both country's....

Probably less Fords sold in Australia in a year than a moderate sized dealership in a big city in the USA sells in a month...why would they even bother with us?

calais · 04-11-2014, 07:06 PM

I dont see the issue, we will still be able to buy it on release. We know who engineered and designed it and where the kudos belong.

**Raptor** · 04-11-2014, 07:38 PM

But it has been revealed here already, over a year ago in August 2013.

At the Ford Australia Go Further event, held in Sydney.

Sure it was called a concept and had big tyres on flash chrome wheels and probably more bling than the standard items will but I consider it's already been revealed. I don't expect any surprises, but more of the details, from the China event.

I know that's a typo - but it made me laugh.

Ford retail sales in China last year was approx. 1million units. The same as the total new car sales in Australia. In Nanjing alone on one weekend last year, I understand that 40,000 Fords were sold. that puts the market into some sort of perspective and suggests where Ford are going to spend their money.

It's fortunate that we have an excellent skills base at Ford here that we are leveraging to keep the engineering work here even if we cannot manufacture any longer.

Hopefully we hear the finer details, even the Australian spec.

But its Ostrayyan!
Should they have checked with us aussies first before deciding where to launch it? You probably overestimate AUs position on the global automotive pecking order.

Whinge whinge whinge. Who cares where it is revealed. With the Interwebs, it makes no difference.

**Polyal** · 04-11-2014, 10:23 PM

I don't get the buzz, as above we know what it looks like. It's hardly Aussie...they building it there?

XR Martin · 04-11-2014, 10:32 PM

Good sign it will get ecoboost engines as the Chinese arnt a fan of diesels.

fgpsi · 05-11-2014, 12:03 AM

Compared to our Tezza it looks crap

**Dave R** · 05-11-2014, 03:00 AM

I think this is good news. Ford Australia is part of the big picture now, no longer just some little outpost down under, they're playing their part in the global Ford empire and that's great.

I dunno about you but if I was buying a 4x4 it would be a diesel.

100%..unless it was some wicked V8 I dont know why you would bother with anything else....even a 4 pot TDi would be better than a petrol.

csv8 · 05-11-2014, 11:55 AM

Didn't Ford learn from Tezza's with no diesel???

Road_Warrior · 05-11-2014, 12:17 PM

It's already been revealed, in Australia!!! FFS!!!

Franco Cozzo · 05-11-2014, 12:23 PM

Kind of makes you wonder whats the point of revealing a car so early when we don't get it for what seems like years.

Like the "new" Mondeo for example by the time we get it, its already 2 years old.

Gobes32 · 05-11-2014, 12:57 PM

I would imagine it will be manufactured in Thailand alongside the Ranger?

Mainly I believe to make people hold off if the specs of the Ford are what people want. Probably more applicable in the case of the Everest and not the Mondeo.

Takes some shine off the opposition etc...but yeah its a bit of a gamble. But if your current sales are rottern then there is not much harm.

It'll have a diesel for sure, but it would be nice if it also had a decent petrol motor too.
Id only bother with the soot chucker if I was towing, otherwise the 2.3L 200kw/430nm ecoboost would be my pick. Or the new 2.7L V6 with 240kw/510nm

You do realise that statement, is nearly as bad as comparing it to a Falcon.

They are Chalk & Cheese, and it is not a replacement of the Tezza

It will most likely have the same engine and transmission offering's as the Ranger, so yes a Diesel

chevypower · 05-11-2014, 04:38 PM

So the Everest and Explorer will be revealed within a week of each other. The argument for petrol vs diesel continues, they just need to offer both. I think the 2.7 ecoboost would win over some diesel fans if offered.

FFS, in yours and many peoples eyes on this forum Ford can do no right. No matter what they do there is always people like you that will **** and moan about what Ford do.
Are you going to buy an Everest, is that why your concerned?

**Elks** · 05-11-2014, 07:18 PM

Ecoboost petrol engines give diesel like power and economy. without the noxious black soot.

The only reason you want a diesel is fuel economy. an yep that a big reason, in fact one of the biggest. But if you could get diesel economy from a petrol engine, would you care if it's diesel or petrol?

PS I don't care its launched in China. In fact I think its good. Showing off our engineering talents to the world.

I also think it's a good looking rig. I bet they scab out on the big wheels and tyres for the production versions, which will be a pity. Because that thing has stance.

csv8 · 05-11-2014, 07:33 PM

DJM83 so you can only post positive comments on FORD ?? Isn't a FORUM for open and frank discussion..positive or negative on FORD vehicles ????? OK...so....
The FGX is a fantastic vehicle, has no faults and deserves 100% praise..
My only criticism of the FGX is no G8E......I haven't commented on styling etc etc...
FOCUS... what a marvelous gear box the double clutch is, engages smoothly everytime..!!!!
Off my soap box...

I dunno about the soot

my Ecoboost always covers the rear of my car in soot, prob because of DI.

Agreed on the looks aswell i reckon it looks awesome
