  1. It will be difficult for the Brazilian to swallow a Chinese car. Jac and Chery try hard, but can't even reach competitiveness. The Press has massively disclosed that the Territory is a Yusheng, and this will cause negative repercussions. Brazilian buys Ford because it is Ford, a brand that is 100 years ago in Brazil. They are traditional and do not trust the hard money (because the price of a CUV in Brazil is stratospheric) in a product that the press discloses as doubtful. Territory is only back in Brazil because the dealers are terrified with the closing of the factory of São Bernardo do Campo and afraid of Ford close also the Camaçari factory. The right decision would be to bring only Puma and Kuga (under another name, because Escape in Portuguese means exhaust)
  2. The new Escape will be made in General Pacheco (Argentina), which opens the possibility of exporting to Brazil
  3. It would be a big mistake for Ford Brasil to bring a Chinese car. The Media has already massaced the model. They Should bring Escape or Puma
  4. Nautilus and Expedition are the two great and good surprises among the passenger cars. Transit, F and E truck series are strong too. Even this year there will be Escape, Explorer, Aviator and Corsair on this chart
  5. As for the Puma, will be an Escort C1 SUV. Just look at the teaser and the photos of the Escort 2020 comparing the high position of the lights. The LED is almost identical to the LED of the Escort 2020
  6. Escape reminded me of the happy front of the Honda S2000 and the MX-5 so I liked it. The headlights are quite reminiscent of the S2000 too. Looks like the happy front of the Peugeot 206 and 307
  7. Front Plate improves the design of a lot of car Front Plate improves the design of a lot of car
  8. This car has the front more beautiful than all the other Fords. I wonder if the expy front end would match well in other Fords
  9. Navigator and mainly Expedition are a success. They did the right thing to increase production. I Hope Explorer and Aviator are as successful as it
  10. "Meanwhile, in the U.S., Ford customers are bitter about the end of Taurus production, which can still be found in the brand's distributor network as long as the stock lasts."
  11. Cadillac seems to be lost in nomenclatures. "CT5 400" seems very long and unmemorable. It also seems that they want to copy the germans
  12. Cadillac has developed one firecracker of an engine in its Blackwing: the 4.2-liter twin-turbo V8 powering the CT6-V. But other GM divisions hoping to get their hands on it had better be ready to throw down. https://carbuzz.com/news/cadillac-doesn-t-want-to-share-its-blackwing-engine?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=carbuzz_facebook
  13. 1.5 Ecoboost and 2.0 Ecoboost https://www.noticiasautomotivas.com.br/morto-nos-eua-ford-taurus-segue-adiante-na-china-e-tera-atualizacao/
  14. It seems that Ford lacks definitive and immediate solutions. Let's remind the European Escort MK5. In order to reduce costs, even if threatening to undermine a consecrated model, to increase profits (motive that killed several other Ford cars) resolved to make a project of escort that became a fiasco and ruined the reputation of the escort. Instead of canceling the production and reworking a new generation, they have requed the car for another 9 years.
  15. YES Ford doesn't seem to care about market indicators. It seems that everything is extendable, or that everything can have palliative solution
  16. The Cadillac design looks like a drama. GM spends a fortune on Cadillac projects, but keeps the design bad because it's original. It would be better to keep an ugly design and lose money Always (CTS, ATS etc), than run the risk of copying another brand, but make money (Hyundai copies the Audi grille). It seems that some brands are stuck to bad designs because they simply cannot risk another design, since every type of design seems to have been used by other brands. CTS seems to be the "leftover" design and no German used it.
