Ford spent a s***LOAD of cash on tooling for the assembly lines for the 1st gen Foci, because they had never had a car like it in North America before (all-new compact model, very different from the Escort and Tempo). And apparently, they have been taking too long to pay it off, as well as save the money to re-tool for the next gen when it finally gets here.

This is what I've been told be people from Ford.

Also, who gives a s*** about the super duty....the big truck and SUV bubble burst almost 2 model years ago now...

Also, they keep going on and on and on about the edge...tell us about something new please!
