I disagree, certainly from a UK perspective.
Most modern Ford diesel engines are the product of the collaboration between Ford, Citreon and Peugeot [0][1].
Ford diesel Focus and Mondeo's are hugely popular and are quite reliable, reasonably sporty and fuel efficient things. My dad's last three Fords (Focus, Mondeo then Focus) were all diesels and he loved them. Virtually everyone I know that own's a Focus has one of the diesel versions.

- ptaipale 11y agoYes, I don't disagree, you can buy a Focus, but I said Ford is not particularly strong in diesel. They work with PSA to get the engines. Still, a smaller percentage of Ford's European cars are diesel, compared to all major German and French brands, Volvo, Nissan or even Dacia.
