Ford Motor Company to phase out most cars sold in N. Am (Mustang is safe)

Basically, every car is out except the Mustang and Focus Active (new car).

 

Due to high demand for trucks and SUV/ Crossovers, that is what they will sell.

 

Interesting concept.

good,if people want to keep buying Gm products when they have such a terrible repair record,cost of ownership and high price let them.

and as soon as FCA finds a sucker to buy Chrysler they will be nothing more then Ram trucks.

Honda and Toyota`s quality has fallen quite a lot since Kia and Hyundai have moved up the small car game.

my MIL has a Taurus SHO and she loves it,my wife and i have a Focus and its been great but the market share for the Taurus,Fusion and that POS fiesta just is`nt there.

i don`t think the Ford car is dead,they will be back but for now its a smart idea to let the car market eat itself into correction.

Oil prices are rapidly increasing and OPEC seems intent on continuing that trend.

Ford might have really bad timing with this decision.

GM's Lordstown, OH plant is now down to one reduced shift,  from three last year.

Bold move for sure but they will bring back a new line of cars eventually. new brand names   that's the way to bolster new and get rid of sagging other names
