Ford has done everything it can to avoid progress and deserves its fate.
Huge trucks to avoid environmental goals, worst EV strategy of all, etc.
Fuck Ford.
“We tried everything short of actually listening to our customers, where could we have gone wrong??”
I want a new Focus ST and a 2-door Maverick, but they aren’t making much I want now. Just the Mustang.
“Ya know the Ford _____ is one our best selling vehicles, what should we do with it?”
- Escort
- Focus
- Taurus
CEO: “Cancel it.”
He’s to busy hanging out with pedophile protectors to listen to customers lol.
they can’t charge $70,000 for those though!
To be fair it was always the f150 and their truck lines they do gang busters with, but I want small cars not trucks too
In the US for sure, in Europe Focus/Fiesta/Mondeo were everywhere. I’d have thrown money at them if they still made a Mondeo estate, as it stands it’ll be VAG because that’s what exists.
I sold my Fiesta before a cross-country move and if I’d known I was never going to be able to get a small car again I would have paid to have it shipped…
A reasonably priced Taurus EV would kill it. Sadly, there’s little chance they’ll make one.
All we wanted was the Falcon. Dammit.
Honestly that was their biggest mistake in many years.
Ford and GM.
Use Australia as the “Sedan” makers, Europe for the small cars and America for the trucks and just build models that are worldwide compliant. For those 3 markets to all be building a similar large sedan is idiocy.
The Pinto is their top priority.
Going after that domestic terrorism market, i see.
Ha, my older sister had a Falcon back in the mid-80s, cool little powder blue car.
Wow, I’m out of touch. Do they really not make any sedans??
The only car left is the Mustang and that’s a couple/convertible. The Fusion and the Focus have been dropped and not replaced. The rest are crossovers or trucks or vans.
Edit: Fiesta too
Fiesta too.
Ah shoot. Couldn’t remember if there was a third.
I wasn’t sure if they sold them in the US. Nice, reliable decent cars, usually had a bonkers edition too like the RS or ST lines. Depressing, I’m in the market for what is functionally a Mondeo (Fusion) estate and there’s absolutely nothing that fits the bill as well as it would have.
A lot of companies were getting rid of all models that were not suvs or trucks. Dumbest thing ever. Small cars ftw
Only rubes drive American cars.
