I am surprised ford was even in the market. American car amnufacturers have made objectively inferior cars for the last 20 years with none of the status associated with german manufacturers.

Tata and Maruti Suzuki monopolize the budget sector. Honda and toyota run the middle tier and Germans run the top end. The enthusiasts buy bikes and minis.

Ford and american manufacturers at large have zero market in india. About time they left.

Didn’t Ford have a deal with Tata and Land Rover? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar_Land_Rover

As far as American cars being uncompetitive, I’m not so sure. They tend to be comfortable and powerful compared to many other vehicles and have (so far) spent a lot less time lying to the authorities about their emissions.
