B&E: What’s your take on downturn in the automotive scene?
MB: The market is undoubtedly at risk and sales have suffered lately but we are looking into the matter closely.
B&E: What are Ford’s plans for capacity expansion in India?
MB: Well, we will be expanding our production to 200,000 units by 2010. We are considering a number of models for the market and that includes a small car that we intend to launch in India.
B&E: Why has Ford discontinued the smaller 1.4L engine that could add volumes to the Fiesta?
MB: The 1.6L engine can alone meet the requirements that would have been met by the 1.4L engine. It has been tweaked and now delivers brilliant performance and fuel efficiency. As a result of these changes, the Fiesta has now become a very attractive product.
B&E: Since the Fiesta was already a high selling car, with the addition of new features has the product changed?
MB: This is a very stylish car with very good performance. It is a kind of car you want to own just by looking at it. The car is targeted at the educated urban Indian, who has succeeded in life.4
