I'm on a roll with positive threads about Ford at the moment...
 You may have heard that Ford Aus had a role in developing the new Escort (Focus based sedan for the Chinese market)? Well it appears that Ford Aus, in fact, actually have the lead role with developing the car and according to CA's sources, it's as big a role as what Ford Aus had with the Ranger. So in a nut-shell, the new Escort will be designed, engineered and tested in Ford's Aussie factories. Article: http://www.caradvice.com.au/266890/2...ord-australia/ |

I wonder what the definition of "almost" is for their unnamed source? T6 Ranger platform IMO is uncomparable to any other work FoA's RnD department has done till now.

Not everyone likes the new style (me including) so it seems the whole range is being based towards a niche market of buyers who like this hexy angley look. |
