As much as people like to bag Ford Australia they do tend to read the market well most of the time. Territory, Ranger and Mustang are good examples.
Serious?

Whilst i'll agree that small cars have declined a little, combining all of Fords main players barely equates to a quarter of small cars sold in this country and in that segment Fords offering numbers 6k units compared to the 10's of thousands its competitors move.

Toyota sells as many small and medium cars as Ford does Ranger and Mustang combined, never mind their ute sales.

People bag the Camry as an ugly, fwd appliance but it still sells more than Mustang, Mondeo, Focus, Fiesta, Ecosport and Everest combined and does so in a shrinking segment.

People still buy small and mdium cars, they just dont want Focus and Mondeo.
