For those of you that think that Ford is not making money overseas or even producing cars strictly for overseas consumers … you are wrong.  Have you ever heard of the Ford Kuga?  Probably not because this particular COV is actually just produced in Europe and it is not available for sale in the states, however … it is coming back.

Ford actually plans to build as many as 80,000 units of the Ford Kuga here for export overseas.  They are actually bringing the production back to the states and honestly, that is going to make UAW very, very happy, which is the ultimate goal of Ford right?

Right now, Ford is awaiting the ratification of the new labor deal that would honestly put labor costs of the Dearborn, MI based automaker on a nearly equal footing with GM – which is good!

The European division of Ford recently released the very first, official pictures of this little beauty, called the Ford C-MAX. It is scheduled to make a worldwide debut this year at the IAA, which takes place in Frankfurt, Germany.

Design wise, its cues are taken from the Iosis Max, a concept car which was revealed at the motor show in Geneva earlier this year. However, the C-MAX promises to bring more in the way of style and desirability, especially when it comes to compact, multi activity vehicles.

It is anticipated that the Ford C-MAX will ultimately be launched during the second half of next year. It is also to be the first of a new generation which will feature vehicles that have been developed from the brand new C segment platform.
