I.e. Their Focus is the best selling car in UK. As well as one of the the top seller in most of EU. Whatever they churn out in Europe, usually gets good reviews these days. Ka. Mondeo. They eagerly await the arrival of the new Fiesta. And this Kuga. It's sad to see that Ford is "practically dead in the water", being an owner of a Ford myself. But that's the story of contis in Malaysia. Except VW, at least. Or the German Marques. Ford doesn’t care about this region much, except for their 4x4s. I.e.

So is this to be positioned below the Escape? the Escape is quite reknowned for its off-road capability so this Kuga might be abit like the X3, in that it will be more suited on the road instead of off it.
