Default Re: Are We Being Too Harsh And Critial Of Ford Australia

I don't think we are too harsh, they have made some fairly large mistakes over the past few years - exhibit A is the gap in LPG product availability. When ~30% of their sales were LPG you have to wonder how they can end up with a 6-8 month period where they can't sell any cars, many potential customers will buy something else & perhaps not return.

It is not all Ford Australia of course, I'd expect they are severely constrained in product spending by Dearborn - but then again with the way the sales have been for the last decade you can't blame them.

Hopefully Ford Australia can identify a niche to survive in, including production, but it is hard to see against Thailand etc.
