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.

Makes you wonder about Ford confirming Focus for Australia and then backing out, Kuga or new Escape would
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.
