mazda 3 very good choice speedsnail but civic is not bad either in the end individual preferance
jayraptor,
focus is the best selling model in uk, dun think they wanna change something that has proven good sales. while in uk they do have other engine option like TDCi using the dual clutch system.
for the fiesta, as i know it is in a hatch form like honda jazz
not sure they have the sedan. yes it will be good if ford can increase their car model in malaysia
now we only have focus ranger everest escape
Hi Mr DC18 & Mr V,
Didn't u guys know that China is paying Ford to build sedan version? It's already available and Ford China is currently preparing to launch the new Ford Fiesta Sedan in 2010 but if economy could recover soon, it'll be launched by this year. The news came out in Malay Mail Motor last week or 2 weeks back issue.
Yes, it's a sedan with tail. Didn't show how the back looks like but the shape looks like Mondeo. That'll save Ford from losing entirely. Hope they'll replace the ageing Ranger and Everest too. Both needs new, larger and stronger frame. That's 1 main reason why Ford is losing share in pickup market - lack of large cabin and new frame. Ford builds best pickup truck but the frame that the 2 are using is ageing and needed replacement ASAP!! I want entirely new Ranger with big interior space, current cargo bed is long enough if could make it wider would be real nice.
Mondeo would need to be priced lower than Camry in order to survive. It needs to convince the people to trust Ford again. After sales service, maintenance cost and parts availability are main priorities and what we all fear most. Resale value comes after these. If Auto Connection is smart enough, they should bring in Fiesta 1.6 1st market it real well b4 bringing in larger D-segment Mondeo. Else, Mondeo would face hard time. Entry Level is primary as most local buyers would not dare to buy any brand over RM100k that is not convincing. Entry level is the main key to convince buyers on how good it is
