Compact SUV's are booming, and what are Ford doing. Trying to flog the ancient Escape and waiting for the new Kuga/Escape, they should have had the original Kuga here 2 years ago.
No wonder Hyundai and Mazda are nipping at Fords heels to take the number 3 seller spot with decisions like that. |

have made more economic sense, we are being flogged in the market because of ancient 4-speed auto petrol Escape. Even US variant got upgraded 2.5 I-4 and 6-speed auto... Ford continually avoids no brainer vehicles like Kuga/C-max... |

I don't think the C-Max would go that well actually. Kuga though, that's a different story.
It would be the coolest if Broady could build the Kuga, Ford Edge and Territory - giving buyers a range of Australian made SUV's.
