valve Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Jim Farley decided to reply to a post on Twitter for the Puma ST. Could it be a subtle hint that he is bringing it across the pond to NA? This would be a great replacement for the Ecosport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed!, if the CEO is tweeting this then I think that’s a good indicator that it will replace the stale Ecosport. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bzcat Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Is this Farley publicly reprimanding the North America product planning team? ? Just about everyone have observed that Puma is a much more appropriate car for the US market than EcoSport (or Fiesta for that matter). If Kia can sell 100k Soul a year in the US, I'm sure Ford can figure out there is a market for Puma. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGR Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Sorry to bring back an old topic, but did Ford sell that half-built Mexican plant? If not, that might be a perfect place to build the NA Puma. (and Focus, a guy can dream, can't he? That WAS the original plan IIRC) With Uncle Joe "in charge", Ford would get less hostility from the White House.
