i dont understand what the problem is when ford are selling its cars for a dearer price, and therefore making more money per car. Isnt that the idea of a business? make the most profit, not make the most product.
Havent you heard of what Henry Ford did, he dropped the price so he could sell more cars and make more money, it worked then why dont they do it now

Ford stakes out new Territory
Ford's Broadmeadows plant is ramping up production to cope with its new Territory, the Falcon-based four-wheel-drive, due next year. In a practise run recently, staff completed a record 500 Falcons (including utes, Fairlanes and LTDs) in one day. A spokeswoman says Ford is not building more Falcons or "clearing the line for Territory", but speeding up production in order to cope with both vehicles, which will be built at the same time.
"The line is being brought up to the speed we need to add Territory on top of the Falcon production," she says. Ford now produces 100,000 cars locally a year, which will be lifted to 117,000 vehicles next year.
"The line itself is the same," the spokeswoman says.
"At the moment new Falcons roll off the line every 60 seconds. When we get up to speed next year when Territory comes on line it will be a vehicle every 51 seconds."
She says the first Territories will start coming off Ford's production line in late May ready to go on sale on June 1.
You can have it two way's,
High product turnover,low profit margin
or vice versa
Low turn over, high margin's, you just need to work out what is best for the product in general,come on Ford.
