with new generation products like Focus, Explorer and new engined F150 ready to drop. Ford is showing the same kind of strength and efficiency that Toyota had a few years back, I hope Ford makes every post a winner in 2011, EB Falcon and diesel Territory for us. |

The big winner in 2011 for me for Ford will be Fiesta, regularly hitting 1500/mth, but Ranger becoming Fords best seller with 3,000/mth. Yep, its a big call, but i truly believe it can take on Hilux and conquest sales. Above all, i want to see above market growth with profit!

to be ready/on tap for dealers to take full advantage of the resurgence in buyer interest. This is a golden opportunity for FoA to change buyer perception of products and dealers, Let's hope everyone works together next year and takes full advantage of new products like Ranger, Ecoboost Falcon, Diesel Territory, New Focus, Updated Mondeo and of course, Fiesta. The new GS and GT may turn out to be the shrewdest move that Ford and FPV have ever pulled, everyone knows the engines have huge potential and power is clearly being understated, a deliberate move to give HSV nothing to work with...... |

Well if the FPV vehicles can crack 2500 in 2011 then that will be a rise of nearly double over 2010. So, that is at least 100/mth! Still can't understand lack of diesel ute. But anyway. Ford's One Ford plan and it's integrated marketing will hopefully spell some dividends and continued profit and growth here in Australia. The new ads are a solid start. IIRC Ford Oz are predicting 15% market share for Fiesta which would be 1500-2000/mth and challenging for segment leadership. When is T6 Ranger due?

The continued delay in LPi Falcon was a massive F up. It was supposed to be on sale by now. LPG makes up about 20-30% of Falcon sales and at the moment they have no LPG Falcons they can sell. Its one of the main reasons why they needed so many down days before Christmas because that is a huge chunk of sales that have dissapeared.
It will be lucky if its on sale by 3rd quarter 2011 the way its going. Dissapointing as its a really neatly integrated setup, just looking under the bonnet you can hardly pick it from the petrol version. |

I hope we dont see the Taxi fleet running Holden dominant numbers soon because of this delay Ford never cease to amaze me at the opportunities they leave behind at times No Std V8 is a joke too in my opinion. I want a G8E |

LPi delay wasn't cold start as I assumed, more just design delays in trying to integrate the system into the standard plastic manifold which has caused more than a few design problems getting it all to fit while leaving enough room around it for it to be fitted on the line.

the Euro IV I-6 and Ecoboost I-4 petrol work took priority over the LILPG the work needed to get all versions ready meant LILPG was left until last. |
