It was bound to happened….like nokia… If you do not keep on upgrading you lose competition… Poor designing team…..always late comers in changes….ford must hire Hyundai designers… Also a LOGO needs to be changed from typical BLUE… I DON’T UNDERSTAND How COME such a big organization can not have proper PROACTIVE TEAM who is rapidly involved in designing part…why don’t they learn from Hyundai and honda… Chevrolet had the same issue…. A GOLDEN LOGO WAS ALWAYS A DOWN MARKET…also quality of plastic..
Safety cars will be recognized in India only when the helmats and seats belts are used voluntarily understand the purpose…those who use it for the sake of traffic police will compromise safety and quality against price and economy.,.
chevrolet failed because indian customers rapidly saw that chevy cars are shit and you have to keep repairing, repairing and replacing once its out of warranty.
Both ford and chevy are a success in the USA only because they have a lock-in and trade-ins of existing customers along with the ability to finance new chevy cars.
Did anyone notice the headline by THE PRINT – *Ford gives up on India…. as if India is to be blamed. Rather the news SHOULD BE- Ford couldn’t make inroads in India like Suzuki and Hyundai. This is called hiding your own frustrations.. Right Mr. Print??? (ThePrint is the most frustrated and biased media I have come across) . I am a proud owner of ford vehicle and love that Car. Hence it comes as a shock that they have decided to exit. I hope I do it regret the decision of buying a Ford car.
That’s why Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborgini, Ducati, Land Rover, etc brands have proliferated in India – because Indians are “cheap”. Indians will pay for quality – not crap.
Relsci – Your comment is exactly like your mind- cheap. Indians are smart and they know how to get value for money. We don’t cater to any one with big names like you dumb asses do. But since you are dumb you might not understand what I am saying.
It seems MNCs do not know how to operate in India. They get their MNC CEOs COOs and follow what they do in their country. Possibly the adage that – when in Rome do as the Romans do- might help them. Running a company in still water countries may be easy but in turbulent waters you need a local navigator.. . .
Looks like writers are either sadist , pessimistic or both

Indians believe in the concept of value for money. There is major difference between being cheap and looking for the money’s worth.
Most Indians are cheap. They don’t care about quality. They don’t deserve world class products tbh. RIP Ford India

Yet another belief victim of starry eyed aspirational demand of 400 million people.
