The CAW has bent over backwards and taken more than a few lumps with trying to appease Ford to bring the new plant to Oakville.
But you guys are right. I highly doubt that Euro model would be built anywhere but here in NA.

Built in NA would be best, the other thing that Ford could do is to bring over the Euro Focus and other Euro models as Lincolns this would actually kill 2 birds with one stone as Audi have started to sell luxury compacts and BMW's MINI is selling well and would also allow Ford to compete with Honda's Euro models that they sell here as Acura's(ie: Euro Accord = Acura TSX).
