Thanks Russ,
I think this sums up Ford's year perfectly
Quote:
Ignoring the out of production Falcon and Territory models (which cost 2,367 sales) there were:
- 2,753 less Mustang, a drop of 30.0%
- 2,078 less Focus for a drop of 34.9%
- 1,045 less Mondeo, a drop of 35.3%
- 1,018 less Fiesta, a drop of 65.7%
- 535 less Ranger 4x2, a drop of 9.2%
- 483 less Escape/Kuga, a drop of 9.2%
- 206 less Ecosport, a drop of 15.1%
- 49 less Ranger 4x2, a drop of 0.1%
-
The only improved models were:
- 875 more Everest sales, a gain of 19.0%
- 287 more Transit vans, an 18.0% gain; and
- 93 new Endura sales

More than just Mustang, what really hurt Ford was that Ranger didn't increase sales like Hilux
did and that in turn prevented Ford from covering big losses as car and SUV sales fell in a heap.
I think your prediction of Ford sales going lower is accurate as i just don't see an up side to any
of Ford's lower priced vehicles, new Focus is nice but it could be easily passed over by Aussie buyers..
