Yes, EcoSport is doing good but not great. Apart from it what else? Nothing much currently. Please don't compare Ford with Fiat or Skoda, Ford is much bigger than those 2 & can certainly do better than this if they want & take India seriously. I hope they do. Quote:

My only point was there is no point in launching new Fiesta again. It was a major flop earlier & so no chance with facelift as well. Instead Ford should launch something new, better so that at least they will get chance to do well. I never said New Fiesta is a bad car. Quote:

I guess i answered above already. Quote:

I will only say wrong comparison. We are discussing something else here. Quote:

Very well said my friend. No need to add anything here. Point well said. Quote:

Many have already said what is undoubtedly true. Let me add one more thing to that. If your definition of success is simply based on the number of cars sold, then you should also know that Ford is, for some strange reason, limiting the number of Fiesta's they deliver in a big way. Plus, there is ZERO marketing. |
Good to hear all your love for Fiesta. Enjoy !! Quote:

I will be more happy than you if Ford gives us more cars, better cars in future. But sadly i don't think its happening. Frankly speaking, if you ask me, i don't see very bright future for new figo/figo sedan when you see the tough competition we already have. Let's wait & watch. Quote:

Again, Fiesta is good car but Ford has done blunder with it when they launched it. Now also they relaunched it with some modifications but are doing nothing to sell it. Don't understand what is the strategy here. Quote:

Reason: Absolutely uncessary to quote such long post for one line replies as it becomes eyesore. Next time infraction if repeated
