Thank you....But, I think this announcement was a joke. Once again they said we are getting a vehicle but won't say what.

I hope you guys don't have to wait as long as LAP had to wait! I mean I get the point Ford does not want the competitors to have an advantage, but in LAPs case the Escape name is already out there!

They did know the Escape was coming, but they still won't elaborate on the rest of the units. Rumor of Lincoln version of Escape or an all-new Lincoln crossover...rumor of Focus overflow has been floated around...rumor of 4-6 units by 2014...all rumors. So the only guarantee has been the Escape.

I thought you knew the escape was going there for about a year Unoffically we knew. Suppliers, engineers, & others were told what to plan for, but "offically" we weren't told til recently. Just like the new Lincoln, its coming they just haven't "offically" come out & said it.

From the sound of the news report they aren't going to tell us ANYTHING untill the Escape is gone. Our product is one of my deciding factors to stay or transfer. Like you said in previous posts.....the transit isn't going to keep everyone working. We would need several vehicles to replace the escape.

A US version of the Kuga ( which i realize similar dimensions as the Escape ) may have been rumored a year ago, but as stated in a previous post, just made official just recently.

Ford has said they want every plant in the system running at full capacity. So I don't think they will put $400 million in a plant and not run at least 2 shifts.

They probably AREN'T going to say anything public. Best thing to do is when you see anyone in the plant that has a blue print, taking measurements, ect., pick their brain. That's what I did. Over a year ago those people were telling me the Escape was coming to LAP. We ran a Focus through Body & Paint months ago & the rep following it said that LAP would be the overflow plant for the Focus.

And we have been rumored to get everything on the planet. All 17 platforms of the Transit, Fusion, Focus, C-Max, Kuga, ect, ect, ect. You name it and it has been a rumor. Well, except for horse buggies...haven't heard that one yet.
