djc Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Earlier we saw that Focus and C-max production will move from Wayne MI to Mexico. Now there is news that Ford will both increase size of existing plant there, and build a new plant to double total Mexico production to close to 1,000,000 vehicles a year. This article again mentions a hybrid developed to compete against Prius in late 2018 - seems it will not be a Focus, as it has been described as a dedicated hybrid model. But it should be on same C2 platform as the C-max and Focus. https://www.autonews.com/article/20160208/OEM01/160209848/ford-plans-to-double-mexico-vehicle-production-report-says Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And nothing is confirmed by Ford at all. Sounds like it won't be a C-Max though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
