Why Ford Sucks In "north America"
#8
Focus man, Focus.,Mar 30 2007, 06:41 PM Wrote:In economy cars like the Focus, people in North America are more concerned with price rather than options like VSC.  In Europe cars are smaller due to the narrow roads and they are used to driving smaller cars.  Also their dollar is stronger so they can get more options in their cars at a somewhat reasonable price.  When you are competing directly with major european makes you need to build more options into the cars to remain competitive in the marketplace. 

This is only my $0.02, take it as you will.
