You mean for the North American market right, they haven’t stopped producing or selling these cars in other markets.

Relax, should the market one day develop where they make financial sense to sell them here, they will come back.

But with modern crossovers getting 30+ mpg and even fullsize trucks getting mid-20s, it’s not likely anytime soon.

This goes directly contrary to their “one ford” strategy.

other markets keep the one ford thing, while USA is becoming F-series, CUVs and Mustangs only. So basically what the rest of the world didn’t have before the one ford thing

Sure, all those cars (Fusion, Fiesta & Taurus) only combined for 21% of sales volume last year, while making a loss.

Makes no sense to waste production and resources on vehicles that don’t sell enough volume to make money.

“One Ford” died with Mulally’s retirement and the return of cheap gas prices.
