Add all this up and the global Ranger would be a failure in N America. Give it up folks. Maybe most auto manufactures are dumber than a politician (and that's pretty hard) but Ford came from the brink of extinction and managed to rebuild and become soluble in tough economic times. The leaders are NOT stupid. Just because 14 people on an internet chat room think it's a good idea, doesn't make it a profitable one.
Yep..........
