jpd80 was correct in what he said about 2020 numbers and some 2021 numbers as well.

On Topic, great result for Ford but they're holding onto 3rd by a thread. They need to get their supply issues sorted.

And anyone paying out Chinese cars is being unfair. People can't all afford the best or even average. And to be fair, the MG's are a lot of kit, well made for a very reasonable price tag. Political tensions aside, there is no reason not to buy them and if thats all you can afford, then who am I to judge them. People who can afford to buy otherwise still don't so I won't judge those that don't have an option.
Ford left the cheaper market in the hunt for margin...in doing so they have effectively relegated themselves to never be #1..perhaps that doesn't matter anymore.

When they were selling heaps of Falcons funnily enough it did....
