Default Re: Ford vows to fight on after July shutdown

cost to build...?

90% of the of the manufacture process is the same between small and large car.

70% of the cost is the same between small to large car. The main difference is B.O.M costs. Very slim margin in small car production, the reason why Focus was canned. Some more fat it them now though.

Manufacturing has high fixed rate costs, but these days efficiencies through processes, sustainable initiatives and many other factors can see these fixed costs reduced significantly.

but to cut a long story short, and to support jpd80, yes the build cost between Falcon and Territory is essentially the same!
