How will Obama claim credit for this one?
Cool. My wife has an 08 Escape, very nice car. Only complaint is the cloth seats stain WAY to easy.
Oh, no; I have a 2001 Escape which I love, it gets 21 mpg on the highway, and it's built like a little tank; if they stick a flimsier chassis on it, they won't be anywhere near as solid as they have been. I was rear-ended on the freeway three years ago and had nearly $6,000 of damage to the Escape but didn't have a scratch on me. Ford should leave well enough alone!
It is about the same size as the Escape. As Ford moves forward and they try to get platforms the same world wide, chances are the Kuga and Escape may become one design in the future.
I happened to go out to lunch with a Ford Employee last week and got to see a couple of these Kuga's in the Dearborn area. Ford doesn't bring Euro cars over to let the workers do Dem/Val drives like they used to years ago, they are penny pichers period. So that may lead you to ask why are these Kuga's here in the US?
I love my Ford Escape 160,000 miles and still going 4 wheel drive which is great for the 200 - 300 inches of snow that falls for the entire winter in the UP of Michigan. When this one goes I will get another one. The Kuga looks like the crossover, the Edge.
Did I read this right? The plant is going to be closed for a year,(putting 1100 workers out of a job?), then bringing all those people back, plus adding another 1,88 hundred workers?
Wow.
“the plant, which will be shut for a year while new equipment is installed”
A lot can happen in a year.
Buy some Ford stock it’s a good stock at $16+.No I’m not a broker I just know Ford Motor Company. That name on their building is not going to change.
“Ford said Thursday it will add 1,800 workers at a plant in Louisville to build the Escape”
I bet they get over 1 million job applications.
