Cool to see inside the plant. Great atmosphere it appears to be. And fine people building our trucks! Now if Ford would offer a union built Focus to compete directly with the union built Prius...:B
Love the vid, thanks!
And love my 2013 union, Wayne built Focus.
I wanted to maximize fuel mileage as I use my car as a work route truck. The Prius fits the bill. I kept hoping Ford would offer the Focus as a hybrid since Ford is licensed to use Toyota's hybrid technology. I like the Prius but it gnaws at me driving a foreign car. My next car will likely be a union built Focus even at the loss of 25~mpg.
Beings you like US built foreign cars , why not buy a Camry built right down the road from your beloved SD's. IMO Toyota is light years ahead of Ford in the build process. I have worked at both plants hear in Ky and have been all though them.;)
Actually, I much preferred the union built Focus. But I wanted to maximize fuel mileage if I was going to give up the F250 and use a car for my work truck. Ford offers the Focus as an all electric but not a hybrid. The C-Max does nothing for me and the seats are no Bueno on my tailbone. FWIW, the Prius is union made (JAW) in Japan.
On edit, since Ford is licensed by Toyota to use their hybrid technology, could it be a licensing agreement that the Focus can't be hybrid as it would be a direct competitor with the Prius?
