Even if there were multiple manufacturing sites for the BSport I don't believe it would matter quality wise nearly as much as the engineering and design for all the components that are then shipped to the site to put together. Yes there would certainly be some issues with overall assembly especially at first, but after a quick ramp up at a given plant the biggest factor is the sum of the individual component quality that the workers put together. With tons of different suppliers of the different parts and pieces it is difficult to have world class quality control that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. It's a difficult balance to achieve when the bean counters have such a strong voice. I would like to see Ford give more weight to world class engineering and design and TESTING in their components.
