Great news to those workers. I like to see more work for the US workers of Ford.

might be apart of that new deal with the UAW

good work Ford!

I doubt it ... What would they put in Kansas City then ... Louisvill will become a small car plant, but I cannot see them abandon the current line - F150 sure as **** won't need it .. or will it?

Easy, with Lincoln getting its own. Mazda making its own called th CX-5. and of course the Mariner. Kansas City might not have enough production space with those three in it.

Ford to idle Wayne plant; no jobs lost - Detroit Free Press
Focus production to shift to nearby factory
BY BRENT SNAVELY • FREE PRESS BUSINESS WRITER • March 11, 2009

Ford Motor Co. said today that it will idle its Wayne Assembly Plant, which builds the Ford Focus, and that it plans to build the new version of the car at its Michigan Truck Plant, which is located next door.

The plant consolidation is part of Ford’s new agreement with the UAW that was ratified Monday...

well the document in the F-L Flagship thread confirms Kuga/Escape for Kansas city .. that said ... C-Max will need a home ... as will hopefully Fusion as it rakes up sales after this refresh and the full global redesign.

I hope Ford can get the Kuga here soon no matter where it goes to compete with the new Chevy Equinox which I have to say is pretty sexy looking.

(In fact I wish they could build the Kuga and the Escape on one platform on one line and give the market the choice of sexy or rugged. ((Or they could call the rugged-looking one the Bronco)))

completely agree, fusionwagon

hope they get away from this one basic model/type per platform

My theory regarding Kuga and Escape for North America is the next Escape will be using the C2 platform (same as the next Kuga) but the Kansas City built Escape with be North Americanize , and Louisville plant Kuga will be global type designed.

I base my theory on the Fords Escape car program code for the next Escape which includes the letter "N" at the end of the number code which indicates "for North America only".
