The Fiesta ST is a great car, but the 6 speed DCT in the Normal Fiestas and all Focus (outside the RS and ST) likely doomed these two platforms. Ecosport doesn’t appear to be a good competitor against small foreign SUVs, which is sad.
Ford shakes up management after giving a dreadful outlook
- Thread starter VRYALT3R3D
- Start date
I'll take a 2020 Accord with a manual trans instead. The Ford Sedan Plan is stupid. Poor decision making is obviously something they're perfecting lately. Every other manufacturer is grateful for the additional market share and opportunity to maintain loyal buyers through this cycle.
Bingo, i my self have owned 5 fusion already. From a 2012 to 2018 model.
Exactly my point you just proved. A poorly managed car company still had record breaking sales in 2019. That alone proves that cars sale. Most people that own or rent houses tend to have at least 2 vehicles. 1 which is normally a everyday car the other a truck or SUV.
What kills me , is i want to stay brand loyal. But for the future ill either end up buying a used fusion or mkz when they arent made anymore or possibly go have to look at another brand.
Everything is academic until "the problem" is solved.
Considering most 20-40 year old buyers have massive student loan debt, they'd pick the cheaper option of the two. Which will always and forever be the car
There is a Problem....

Someone in that scenario needs to buy used.
Toyota makes up a very small fraction of the ultra high margin full-size trucks and SUV segment, yet somehow made a $23 billion dollar profit (roughly 10X GM/Ford/FCA) last year. Must be magic.
They (along with most of all the other foreign makes) are probably laughing their asses of watching the domestic manufacturer's bail out of cars.

That is a good point. Why are Toyota making Tundra? CNBC should make an video about that. They are all over Youtube in 15 min videos. Ford not building cars hurt the european tuners and owners of tuned Ford cars. Mountune needed that California shop for development of parts. Not easy making profit on parts in heavy regulated Europe only for Focus Mk4. Every one lose. EcoSport and Kuga/Escape cant replace Fiesta and Focus.
Exactly. Honda $5.5 billion....
Im afraid that until Jim Hackett and Jim Farley are OUT of the executive pool at FoMoCo, rational decisions like producing fun cars with reliable technology IN ADDITION TO CUVs's, SUV's and trucks wont be made.
Problem is they dont have an Alan Mulally to bail them out this time. If we have another 2005 crash ford might go under this time or bought out.
Just as a mental excersize, who do you think you would buy what if Ford failed and was sold in bankrupcy court?
Id laugh heartily if Toyota Motor Corp bought F-Series. bwhahahaha
I doubt an Asian company would want to deal with the UAW.

Tesla. Haha haha
If it became pennies on the dollar im sure some company like Tesla. Since they already invested in the tech it would be an easy migration. Having a solid platform F150 F150 would do wonders in there portfolio. Would be a sad day for Any true blue Ford fan.
Its sad to say that could be a possibility. Investors have faith in Tesla and would fund the buy if it was cheap enough.
At least when they lose 500 million dollars in a year the stock would still triple...
