The Ecoboost Falcon is the biggest loss of all in my opinion...it could have been so much more. People aren't afraid of large four cylinder cars anymore...Subaru, Mazda, Toyota, and Honda don't lose sales because they're "only" four cylinders. With a good advertising campaign, it could have been marketed at people considering "foreign" cars.
They should have pushed...hard...the fuel economy and cheaper running costs. In Queensland especially you save a large amount of money having a four over a six or, especially, an eight cylinder. Some figures on the screen could have shown this. And I agree...as sad as the job losses are, the people have a lead time of three years warning. There have been plenty of examples in recent history here of workers turning up at their place of work on Monday morning only to find the gates locked and a notice on the fence...it could have been far worse for the Ford workforce. |
