I didn't say 500 was bugger all, I said a 16% increase was bugger all if its coming off a small base, were talking something like 70 units here, hardly setting the world on fire and for all we know that increase could be simply a number of Dealers registering demo's.
And lets not forget, Prado is competing with its own stablemates for those 1300 sales, Kluger(900) and Fortuner(216), there's nothing really taking sales off Everest in Ford land.
Anyway, back to Bronco, God knows why Ford is playing with this retro styling stuff, Toyota tried that with FJ cruiser and it flopped, no wonder they wont be bringing it to our market.
