Was it to be built in Mexico? Interesting it was cancelled right after the beautiful US - Mexico "trade deal".


Nah. Ford was building a plant here for the Focus. It got cancelled at a very early stage right after Trump's election. Trump of course celebrated that. A few months later Ford announced it would actually build the Focus in China now and bring zero jobs back to the US. Fast forward to know and facing 25% tariffs from China Ford sure is looking stupid for cancelling the plant here.

Now, the only entry level car Ford has is the EcoSport. Which is a bad vehicle.


And it's made in India.
