That's because the cost importing actual Fords into China is astronomical. But that isn't bad for a knockoff. Except it must be about as safe as Suzuki and have the towing capacity of a Kia Sorrento.

People accused this company of knocking off Mercedes . . but they got a 50/50 joint venture with Daimler . . wonder why these companies are invested in them if they're not up to standard for export
