Ford only expects 10% of its volume to come from the savages over the pond 
Sometimes I wish they wouldve never came out and said it would be offered over seas (i do know why they did though) because now the only thing I hear is " it is too European, doesn't look American Muscle enough..." bull shit. The car looks fine and too many people just like buzz words like European and Fusion. .. |
Well you can blame Ford for that because they set out to do that by "benchmarking" European cars and having a global reveal at several countries throughout the world. Seems a lot time and effort was spent on just 10%; so to me it's obvious they want to increase global sales even if means alienating some potential domestic buyers. After all of that; they still have to contend with the Camaro from a sales perspective whether they chose to accept that or not.
