- SUV's are where it is at nowdays. Go to any school at pick up time or sports on the weekends. All the parents drive SUVs. Large saloons have largley been replaced. Hence Territory needs a decent facelift and a choice of more economical engines or even introduce another smaller softroader to sell along side Territory (same size as Xtrail, CRV, Rav4 ect.). The onyl reason I did not buy my wife a Territory was because of their poor fuel consumption. Give me an LPG option or a smaller 4cyl SUV and you have my money.
- With the downsize to smaller cars, the locally built Focus is a good idea. I am also a strong supporter of a locally built RWD MEDIUM size car with a range of engines say 2.0N/A, 2.0 turbo, V6, and a small V8. I reckon these would be big sellers. Yes we already have Mondeo, but its FWD, and a bit pricey (locally made option would be cheaper).
- Falcon: who knows, I'm stumped. I love my GT, but clearly the wider market has voted with their wallets for other products.
- Dealers: Customer Service needs to be drilled into their thick skulls.
- Factory - Quality control. Concentrate on this area hard.
- Advertising: Emphasise how Australian the Ford product is and how it brings local jobs ect. Holden whores out their local madeness, Ford should do the same.
