Production would have to be in the US or Mexico for it to be profitable for Ford. They had a good plan for production in Mexico.
I think the sales volume issue is BS, especially if Nissan NV200 (Chevy) and MBenz Metris have now backed out of the small van market leaving only the Ram ProMaster City.
I believe someone in the US is going to capture the small cargo van market with an all electric and/or hybrid. It's a question of who.
History shows that the big three auto giants will miss the boat on a golden opportunity and play catch up later.
