Although Ford (1) has made operating profits of over $7 billion in its American
market this year, the story in Europe (2) is very different. Its market
share (3) has fallen from 12% six years ago to only 9% now. The truth is that
rivals like Volkswagen and Renault (4) have performed much better over recent years.
They (5) have cut costs and (6) launched exciting and highly successful new models.
In contrast, Ford (7) has withdrawn its large saloon, the Scorpio, which was not
selling well. But Ford (8) has had a lot more success at the higher end of
the market. Over the last few years it (9) has spent a lot of money buying
brands such as Jaguar, Aston Martin and Land Rover, and these models
have much higher profit margins. It (10) has taken some time to sort out the
problems at Jaguar in particular, but it’s now a successful part of the
business.
