I need to see one in person, (they look kinda borky to me in print...) But I bet they still sell well.

Ford was the shit 5-7 years ago, but now the lineup is so dated. The only cars they update is the F150 and the Mustang. They brought this not-new Ecosport and will bring the not-new Ranger.

Fiesta Focus Fusion Escape Taurus Explorer are all dating from 2013 or less

End of rant.

to be fair, the ecosport, ranger and bronco will all be new for the US. also the expedition is brand new. and the explorer was just refreshed in 2016. oh and the focus is being updated for 2019 or 2020

No more Fiesta, ST Edge, RS gone again.

As a performance company, they are again lacking other than the Mustangs. As a normal car company, other manufacturers are better every time with the exception of trucks.

fiesta is still around its just lifted and will sell even more, edge st shows theyre willing to turn non-performance cars into sporty models to compete with other sporty non performance cars. the rs is only gone because the focus is getting refreshed. the rs was always an end of life cycle model even overseas. so a few years into the new focus life cycle the rs will come back. theyre extremely competitive in each segment and if you ask me doing pretty well.

you have sporty normal cars like the Focus ST, Fusion Sport, Taurus SHO and now the Edge ST

you have sports cars like the Mustang and Focus RS

you have performance trucks like the Raptor and Ranger Raptor( yes i know it hasnt been announced stateside but it likely will cause murica)

and you have a halo car in the GT.

ford hits the mark on nearly everything and i think thats great. i feel like theyve got a more complete lineup then anything else from an american automaker and thats cool

The Ecosport dates back to 2012! My mom will think it’s new. Yes I forgot about the pretty sweet new Expedition

I’d rather have that Clio, assuming it’s a petrol w/ stick.

So many of those are low volume though. What about their normal offerings that make up the majority of their business?

All of their models are outclassed by others.

Also, the Focus ST’s future is unknown next gen, the RS is gone again, the Fusion Sport isn’t that sporty, the SHO is just a zombie from a bygone era (see Flex).

The GT isn’t even made by Ford or even available to purchase, no matter your net worth, it’s a limited run of Ford Merch for influencers and corporate management. I personally don’t count it.

Isn’t this just a raised Fiesta? The $5400 (Canadian pesos) difference in starting price between the Fiesta and Ecosport is quite steep. Is it really worth that much to sit a bit higher up?

The answer to that is probably yes for most people, but that’s a no for me.

I particularly like the Clio III, though, perhaps because I learned about it during my formative years as a young petrolhead through late-noughties Autocar issues and Top Gear episodes.
