Ford Kuga will be produced in USA starting from 2011
Since 2011, Ford will no longer produce Kuga in Europe but the United States. By this decision, yet unconfirmed, the new and elegant Compact SUV will reach the North American market three years after of its release.
According to Bloomberg news site, Ford Motor Company will move in October 2011 Kuga production in the factory from Saarlouis (Germany) to that of Louisville (Kentucky). Annual European dealers will go 80,000 copies Ford Kuga.
The main reason for the Ford Kuga will be manufactured overseas is the lower production costs compared with those in Europe who come amid dollar’s depreciation against the euro. Only in 2009, the dollar lost 18 percent of the single European fatamonedei.

I am so ready for this car. I would like to get rid of my old Honda CRV and my newer Honda Civic and drive one car that does everything I need. Please Ford, make the back seats fold FLAT. I usually carry a dog kennel in the back and my pups are not happy riding back there if the surface is not level. I have ruled out many cars because of this problem. I want to buy and American car, made here from a company that did not take money from the Feds. That’s you Ford, so don’t let me down!
I could agree more, re: back seats that fold flat; currently have a Freestyle for this reason.
Really like the looks of the Kga.

Driving a Kuga here in Germany right now. The back seats fold flat and overall it seems to be a super car with plenty of power. I am in the 6-speed turbo diesel model, but I think I would rather have an automatic gasoline. It is just the right size, though. I hope they make a US model so I can take it home with me when I leave.
I love the Kuga as well, I just ordered my second Kuga. What I don’t like is to moove the production from Germany to the US. By this change I think the German Know-How will get lost and it is an European VehicleToday I’LL give the forecast that this realy great car will come down with its technic to a usual not in Europe drivable vehicle, its fuel efficency will be, lets say not a gassgussler but very close. DO NOT MOVE THE PRODUCTION TO THE US!!
Ford Kuga has a great design SUV car and i dream to have one. it can be available soon in the Phillipines.
About time. We rented a Kuga in Germany this summer and loved it.
I am from Cape Town SA and I am getting my Kuga next week
