Great news and what a shame Fords do not sell better here. Great cars for the money. Punch well above their price weight.

Sure the Focus is not the best looking in its class but when I drove all of them when my daughters were looking we all agreed the Focus was easily the best in its class.

Fords deserve to sell really well here but marketing is poor and just go for price, price, list of features, price, price and warranty. And price.

An intelligent guy I know (who is quite handy in the pits so should know better) recently bought Korean Kia Cerato. Sure it looks great - like a Lexus IS250 mini clone - and has plenty of features for the $$ but I bet the quality is poor. Admittedly he is an accountant.

His brother has a Sang Syoung or whatever those stupid Korean things are called and it has been off the road for 75% of it's life.

I reckon Ford should be selling way more cars in Oz but Ford marketing needs help and Australians are basically stupid - motoring enthusiasts excepted of course.

If you don't believe me check out they way Australians vote. LOL
