Interesting Talk with Ford Salesman in LA.

[csv8]

The wife and I were in America recently. Went into a large LA Ford dealership.
Salesman asked us "what vehicle were we interested in" I said " we are from Australia and just looking at cars we don't get." He said" Ford Australia is closing down and the Falcon will be no more" "'Replacing it with the Mustang makes no sense, Falcon isn't comparable with the Mustang ,the Taurus is comparable.."I said " how do you know " he said" Dealership gets a monthly report on Ford around the world, it was in that." !!
He showed us the Fusion(Mondeo), (we should have had that a year ago.) when we get it, it will be ready for a Mk2. The Fusion Titanium is $38k drive away or as a plug in hybrid, $41k. But what got us was the Expedition LTD is $55k and comes with electric folding side steps, electric tailgate, electric folding third row seats. etc etc. Shouldn't be hard to fit those to the Territory Titanium??? for an extra $3k you cab add 15"'s to the Expedition.!!! THATS BIG!!!! The Excursion has a V10 option !! He also showed us the C-Max Hybrid. The Raptor is awesome standing still, it has presence .. !!!They would be nice here!!! Very informative salesman, didn't mind showing us around vehicles, when not a buyer.
Ford are going to have to price the Mustang reasonably, not gouge. If the V6 is $25k drive away in LA, Ford should get it for around $20k..making it about $35k driveaway...I live in hope !!!! It was an experience driving in LA !!!
