Question Desirable Fords? Which ones for you?

Ford seems to be playing funnel games with cutting so many models and not really listening or giving much options to their customers.

So which models do you look forward to buying or have a wish to buy?

Is One Ford a Farce?

For me personally


Mustang Is still on the right track V8 Rear Drive Pony still true to it's roots for the most part.

F150 is desirable but not available in Australia really needs to be.

Fusion 2.7 TT Model is desirable again not available in AUS?

Ranger is another I do like. Raptor is good but listen to the customers we need more engine options. V6 in any shape or form will silence us all.

As for SUV's just not for me and Ford doesn't really make anything that stands out will Bronco change that or will it again be a mistake?

Love to hear some thoughts

Cheers!

Mustang. At least we have the option of a muscle car in this day and age.
Focus RS is a cracker. Just bought a Focus ST and desperately hoping in a few years time I can still buy one.

Id love an Explorer, but as much as I love v6 Ecoboost id want it fitted with a V6 diesel.
keen to see what the new CD6 platform models are - we might have a chance of getting those

A Mustang would suit me fine but then I would have to get rid of one of my Falcons. Hence no Mustang at my place any time soon.

Ford GT and Mustang are great poster cars, but nothing that is likely to receive my money in the Ford line-up.

The TT Fusion might have been worth it, but unfortunately it's not available here and it won't be available anywhere else soon.

I'm guessing we're talking about future/current models.

I would love:

Current Focus RS
Upcoming Focus ST
Ford Mondeo V6TT (not coming to OZ)
Ford Edge V6TT (not coming to OZ)

As for past models:

FPV FG MkII F6
FGX XR6 & 8 Sprint
