Ford Announces Bronco will be Sold in China

[vzqhsg]

3 model years in. They’ve cut models, packages and options. Can’t build a decent hardtop. And, they think they can produce enough for the global market. More Farley fantasies.

They will build and pay for the plant in China and the CCP will build them. Can only deliver one bad top in China or else.

If ya know ya know…

Facts. A main reason why a domestic auto producer cant compete price-wise.

If only a Chinese company like Honda could successfully build cars in the US and still make money...

I see your point, but Honda is a 75 year old Japanese company.

True, but Honda is not successful because of anything to do with China. Japan's relationship with China is even chillier than ours. And Ford is a 120 year old company who has been manufacturing in the US that whole time.

So for those not keeping track...

Bronco is offered in the...

• United States
• Canada
• Mexico
• Middle East
• South Korea
• Mainland Europe (namely Germany)

And soon... China.

Just blows my mind they haven't yet sold it in the Australian market. Makes no sense to me... because it seems like it would be perfect for Australia. I'm guessing the only reason why it isn't is because Aussies inherited left-hand traffic from England.

Ya'll are thinking about this all wrong...

The Bronco in the release photo is NOT a Sasquatch, NOT a hardtop, and NOT a two door... and I am just guessing on this one... probably not a stick-shift either.

If Ford couldn't fill its domestic orders, it was mainly because we all wanted whatever the best Ford offered, even if the were hoping we would all buy just whatever they had parts for.

So...
We will all be paying more so the Chinese can have Broncos?

 

[Tryingtogetabronco]

I bet the Chinese can build replicas quicker than Ford can build its Bronco.

 

[sjudas]

Cool another million or so orders

Yup and three year wait times

Where is Honda headquartered at? Where is Ford headquartered at? There’s a little more to the equation at play there.
