All New Ford Kuga Review

[ryeman]

I hope it's a chain driven camshaft .....a manual FWD would be my preference unless the double clutch proves to be truly BULLETPROOF .

[Franco Cozzo]

I was in Essendon Ford yesterday, me and the old man were checking out the new Kuga, it looks alright.

SUVs aren't for us though, he prefers small cars.

Maybe consider the Ecosport when it arrives?

Thanks mate, they could call that the Kuga Cub

Spotted three on the road already,I have not spotted three Ecoboost Falcons since release.Yet to have a close look but in traffic they look pretty sharp.Makes some of it's rivals look pretty bland.

[ryeman]

I'm slightly surprised this thread isn't in the Kuga/Ecape section...

I think the person at Ford who came up with that name was quietly bashed behind the bike shed at smoko. But all Ford need now is the T6 SUV, an updated SZ Territory and the Ecosport and its going to be on like Donkey Kong.

That's right Toyota, bring it.

Interest is going really well, we have sold 4 more

How are you getting on ?

[barra240t]

another few signed up, looks like Kuga is getting hot.

[Mercury 8]

How is the supply of Kuga looking Barra? Any Titanium's received yet. If supply can keep up with demand Kuga may debut in top 10.

Pretty good actually. I'd like a few more Ambiente manuals though, I've used my stock controller magic and found a few more for now. Titanium will be here soon with a few pre sold. I think Spain is a reliable source so we shouldn't get into much trouble.

Fiesta ST though, that thing is gonna sell its pants off!

[ryeman]

Spain's unemployment rate is sooo high there shouldn't be any union/employment problems at least or just about any other N hemisphere country for that matter.

Kuga is going off! Interest per day is getting higher and higher and sales are continuing to climb. Interest is spreading across the model range.

[warpsp33d]

If you're in the Adelaide CBD, seems Ford have a stand on the south-west corner of Pulteney Street and Grenfell Street with a Kuga.

The people there look bored.

They were there all day yesterday, and look like they're there all day today too.

Hi barra240t, how are the Kuga sales going compared to locally built models (Territory)?

Will be interesting to see the Kuga sales figures for May and June.

More like the Territory cub.

The Kuga looks like a Focus on stilts.

The EcoSport looks like a squished Territory.

Question is, why doesn't the Kuga look like the Territory too, or; why doesn't the EcoSport look like the Kuga.

Kuga is being heavily advertised on 'The Voice' which is the most popular show in Australia.

Curious. When you say interest is spreading across the model range, does that mean the Kuga model range or other Ford vehicles?

There was one on Queen Street here in Brisbane. VW did something similar with the Up.

Territory has actually picked up this month, so they are both going well

The Kuga range I mean!

[mik]

Was wandering around a dealer a few days ago looking at a GT and GTP , i stumbled across this car on a stand, it was the kuga, its actually not a bad size and looks better in the flesh, looks alone I have no doubt they will sell well.

[Rodge]

What's the bet that this puppy is most popular with Cougars :-)

I actually thought the model name would've been a turn-off for any 35+ year old woman, particularly if she's single. Would queue too many obvious jokes for my liking if that was me.

Maybe Ford's 'suites' don't get it
