Ford (F) said on Wednesday the only passenger car models it plans to keep on the market in North America will be the Mustang and the upcoming Ford Focus Active, a crossover-like hatchback that's slated to debut in 2019.

That means the Fiesta, Taurus, Fusion and the regular Focus will disappear in the United States and Canada.

Ford will, however, continue to offer its full gamut of trucks, SUVs and crossovers.

Yep. Pretty crazy.

Clickbait title

"Ford to no longer sell sedans"

 

[My name is]

If they aren't selling then why sell them

 

[Sharon Peters]

Wouldn't mind picking up one of them F250 pickemup trucks.

Ford Focus is a cool car, but I still see more Asian brand mid price sedans. Ford needs to step up its marketing campaign.

The Fiesta got replaced by the Ecosport and is already discontinued and the Taurus is basically a cop car only. Getting rid of the Fusion is confusing though. Don't get that move.

Thats a major bummer. No shit but the ford fusion is one of my favorite cars ever. It's the closest i will get to owning an Aston Martin knock off.

Are Toyota and Honda eating Ford's lunch?

Wow this includes the police inceptor sedan.

"Workers in Chicago will stop building the full-size Taurus in March 2019, including the Police Interceptor Sedan. Ford will continue to sell the Police Interceptor Utility, based on the Explorer, which accounts for 80 percent of police fleet sales. "

80 percent of the cars on the road are imports. Only cars I see that are domestic are two door mustangs and camaros. Ford made the right move here.

Yes.

Ford is the only one who did not take bail out money fyi.

Well that sure worked out well for em

 

[jefferz]

So instead of making a competitive product they're just going to say fuck it.

Well the issue is the sedan market has extremely heavy competition from imports(Toyota, Honda, Mazda, VW, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Subaru, Nissan..etc).

Now think about how stiff the truck market is for Ford.....it's much less. Americans are one of the few countries obsessed with large vehicles so it's a recipe for a company to say fuck it and Focus on where they are actually ahead in the game.

Why would people overseas buy those crappy cars. They have the good cars everyone wants. No one wants a ford
