Loyalty is one thing. Would you actually buy one, if a Focus cost $32G?

That is the question.

Yes, I would.

Your going by what it would cost in Europe to sell a Focus here in North America. Unless you have some info from the new CEO about how they are going to price the cars/vehicles that they bring over from Europe. your basically guessing that it would cost $32G to get a MK2 Focus here to sell, when the current MK1 is selling for $21G.

I'd rather see a company that cares that they not be the laughing stock of the industry, and see them be successful, even if it costs a bit more and your a smaller player in the industry.

Ford as a whole needs to change their way of thinking and think that they have finally done that with a change in the CEO that realizes and sees the problem. I don't see a current vehicle in Fords NA line up that I could see myself driving, which is really sad if I do say so myself.

it costs more to make a focus in europe than it does here. The focus in europe probably has much tighter Quality control...meaning more $$. Ford Na doesn't know what the word quality is. :P :lol:

So yeah, if you were to implement the quality control that eeurope has here, it will cost much more to make a focus.

And just becuae you and I would buy a 32K well optioned focus, doesnt mean everybody else will....Do you know how many times I explain to my freinds why I hate fwd in the winter? they dont care, they just want a car with wheels to get them from point a to point b, nevermind what kind of turbo, has awd or not, etc. Liek Anthony said, the majority dont really care.

Take my boss for example.....they just bought a 03 focus zx5 for thier kids, but when they 1st went to the dealership, they were thinking of buying new. When they had their model & options picked out, the salemen gave them the final price, and the 1st thing out of her mouth, was "I can buy a Mustang coupe for that". She's an average customer....and she couldnt understand why the focus was so much as it is now. Imagine if they bring a more $$ focus to the market. :ph34r:
