i don't understand that logic,
what would be wrong with offering the gen 1 UK diesel Edge with 6AT and 6MT from get go?
One and a half years lost sales not getting people used to Endura and then rolling into upgraded version?
I think it was all about Ford giving Everest clean air to fly but even now, it doesn't sell as well as Prado...
I wonder why.
