I guess they still don't get it.
I also am less than thrilled to see my "Build it" estimate on a 2012, compared to the 2010 I bought over the summer. For similar equipment, the price worked out to $26K MSRP, versus just over $20K for my 2010. I won't even mention how the price worked out with all the incentives.
I realize that Ford wants to push the Fiesta as their entry-level vehicle, but if that is the case, why have they priced the Fiesta hatchback so far out of line. And who the heck asked for a Fiesta sedan anyway?
OK, OK, I'll end my rant here (for today, anyway ;-) )

You are right Daniel ... and in 03-04 wagons were as much as 50% of the mix.
I think the NA strategy is to have the C-max fill the position of wagon ... in deference to the US market where the Focus wagon was no more than 5-10% of the Focus mix.
