China-only but looking at it, local engineers and designers would've had a hand in it, like Taurus and Escort.

Is it just me or does that vehicle look very much like the silhouette of the “baby Bronco” that has been previously teased.

Nope that's a global product this is CDM only. Also the silhouette of baby Bronco aka Maverick is far more squared off and bluff.

Another caveat is that the zombie Territory appears to be a small SUV based on the Yusheng S330, rather than a large SUV like its homegrown predecessor.

Seriously though wtf is your problem? I would've thought Ford dusting off the Territory name was newsworthy enough to warrant a thread, sold here or not. Ford Australia has developed every recent product for Ford China, so doubly relevant.
If you think I get paid for clicks then you're not very cluey about how it works. Just tried to share something relevant and i cop this bs. Grow up .

So here’s a silly question, why didn’t Ford give the crap Endura name to that Chinese thing and just call the new Edge a Territory?
Geez, brains mustn’t be a prerequisite when you have a marketing degree This is the Kuga-Escape thing all over again....very slow learners at Ford. |

Every single time, Ford finds a way to shoot itself in the foot,
perfect opportunity to relaunch Territory name with Edge name blocked by Toyota but does Ford do the logical thing? Let’s throw away a decade of nameplate identity and call the new SUV a friggin tyre. The person that approved that name probably got a big bonus..... |

I can understand that they wanted the "Edge" name to keep it consistent worldwide. (Although they already have Fusion/Mondeo) But once they realised they couldn't get the Edge name they should have gone straight back to Territory....not this Endura rubbish.

Also have to be careful with these phonetic translations that you don't end up with "Dead mother's armpit" or worse!!

Oh and a mighty 1.5T too!
Maybe a glimpse into what the future Ranger Raptor might be powered by. |

Heard a rumour that Ford India are going to rename the Figo 1.2P Sport as a Falcon GT-HO Phase 1.2 .
Just saying. https://www.india.ford.com/cars/figo/

The Endura name certainly isn't ideal and the Territory name certainly had traction in the Australian market.
I however don't think Ford could win in this situation. Like the ZB Commodore. Use a name that has history and **** off the faithful or use a name that doesn't resonate?

I wouldve thought it smarter not to use the Territory name at all. So much for that global naming strategy

And he resorts to foul personal insults when challenged about his behaviour or his beloved webpage. Admins do we really need this character here ?

For a business to advertise on aff they have to be a forum sponsor.
Why is this dude any different? He's using forums to get people to click through to his website. Also fails to mention that it's his own site he's directing people to. Csv8 shares links from multiple sources with (as far as I can tell) no affiliation between himself and the source. That's a significant difference. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

my thoughts & I'm not a mod, but I don't see a problem posting links to your own website,
provided the website gives good info and is not trying to force an agenda on anyone. This post was an interesting article.

Just thinking out aloud:
Ford builds the Edge in China with a 5 and 7 seat option and import the Explorer which is also a 7 seater. Obviously with China being a LHD market makes it easy to import the US built Explorer. The Edge in RHD form must have enough volume to justify the R&D/manufacturing expense however where else in the world would a market exist for a RHD Explorer to justify the cost of building one in the future. If this volume is too small to build a RHD Explorer would Ford entertain the idea of building a RHD 7-seater Edge. And it’s not because everyone necessarily needs 7 seats it's more that a 7-seater offers greater load capacity. The Everest doesn’t provide the driving dynamics or probable refinement that a real Territory replacement would need to offer to be called one. And personally, I don’t think the Everest interior is of a suitably high standard or priced in the right $ range needed to fill the missing products for Ford. I don’t know if Ford would build a RHD Edge in China for export. I’ve been told China-built Fords have a higher quality than US-built Fords so that isn’t an issue however would us potential buyers have an issue buying a “made-in-China” Edge if it was offered? Would a 7-seater Edge (NA-built) impact on Explorer sales in the USA? It’s no secret the next all new Explorer is twinned with the Lincoln Aviator but won’t be as good looking imho.

Thanks Bevsta, that's all I was trying to do and it's nice to have someone in your corner. My site is just an outlet to express my hobby, and any time I've shared a link here is solely in the spirit of that.

Just out of curiosity, is your website genuinely a ‘hobby’ site, or do you generate an income from it?

To be perfectly honest mate, that's none of your business.
