Bit of topice, but still shocked that the Kiwi's buy less than 100,000 cars a year. A lot less.
I guess its a case of dirt cheap near new Japanese imports killing new car sales, no wonder the FCAI hates grey imports so much.

Great sales numbers for the Fiesta in the UK and rightly so.

Question. I know of a person who has already put deposit on a Territory but due to the supplier problems (I think ACL) haven;t received their car and haven't got an estimate on how long it'll take.
How much is supplier issues contributing to the figures supplied and FORD sales? |

For some reason Ford has not had the success it deserves in selling small and medium size cars in Australia since the Escort, Laser and Cortina |

Very interesting... These people were told by the sales rep. that supplier issues had halted production. Isn't it great that the people who sell the cars (generally) have no idea. I guess they should have asked him to pick up the phone and call head office for a real answer. |

Why is there such a long wait on such a bread & butter car like the Territory? They are locally built, why cant they just build more of them! I'm sure they could find enough Ford employees who want to do some overtime in the lead up to x-mas..

Also suppliers would probably need time to ramp up part supplies. But why they haven't done anything about it while waiting lists are growing suprises me, although maybe its a way of keeping demand up during the slow December/January sales lulls. |
