Ford will stop producing cars Driver 06/23/2018 (Sat) 04:49:43 Id: cb1e5d No. 15964
So ford is supposed to stop production on cars due to poor sales in comparison to trucks, SUV's, and crossovers. One one hand signs are pointing to this making sense to bean counters. On the other hand, who the fuck thinks not selling ANY cars outside of the Mustang (and some probably shitty hybrid focus)? Discuss.
I think Chrysler should've done this ages ago.
I thought this was in the US/Canada only?
>>15966 It is. Small hatchbacks is the heart of EU sales, they won't give up the Ka, Fiesta and Focus that fast.
Why do people get trucks when the majority of modern day ones are oversized, which is overkill for your average consumer SUVs I can understand, great for families. Crossovers are usually ugly pieces of shit that don't usally perform well. Is it seriously because people just want space? Why so you need so much? I love my sedans, hatchbacks, and small trucks and it is so painful.
>>15970 I can explain for crossovers: its cheap hatchbacks on an elevated chassis. This gives poor, unsecure drivers (or people that don't like cars) a feeling of overseeing the road and thus, a feeling of security.
>>15970 >Why do people get trucks when the majority of modern day ones are oversized Because some people work with oversized stuff everyday, son
>>15970 I hate American trucks, they are designed to look big because it attracts what the normal faggot truck buy likes, looks agression, big = must be strong and powerful. I prefer the Tacoma's. No need to have wide oversized body style.
>>15972 Keyword:SOME The majority of Americans get Trucks but don't haul heavy things. If they do its rare and you are wasting extra money and gas so you can have some extra space. Yet most people don't need that space, there isn't much more you can do that your average modern sedan can't do, hell even modern hatchbacks. The backseats of most modern trucks are still cramped somehow, with the only one I've been in that was comfortable was a 2017 Silverado. If you have a job that requires heavy moving, I completly understand. >>15973 I love Tacomas, I've keep considering getting one but I can't afford themLeast new onesI like new cars so. Comfy as fuck for being so small.
>>15964 Any specific ones they are going to stop making or is it literally all?
What do they sell without cars? Just not producing cars but still produce car components?
>>15975 US sedans. And they'll stop selling EU hatchback to the US market too (see his pic related). >>15977 When OP said cars, he meant sedans and hatchbacks.
>>15977 >>15978 Its a shame to, Focus (mainly hatchback) and Fusions aren't bad little cars. I don't give much of a shit on whatever else they sell besides their newest Mustangs. F150 is ok I suppose, least what I know about em.
>>15991 >Fusion/Mondeo >little Never change, USA
>>15993 I don't mean little literally.

I haven't seen a crossover that looked better than a sedan, especially ford's crossovers compared to their sedans. They should just make the base model sedans and a loaded version priced between the base crossover and the loaded crossover. That way they all look like good deals somehow.
>>15978 >And they'll stop selling EU hatchback to the US market too So no more Focus ST/RS? This is bullshit.
>>16000 Yes, the last ones are for sale in the US right now. I just thought about something. Ford will still have sedans to sell, they'll just be branded Lincoln. That's not a so stupid move.
>>16002 Lincolns are not sold outside the US
>>16007 I know, but Ford will keep selling small cars outside the US ye USA, you're the only ones getting fucked
I always had a feeling crossovers would ruin everything.
>>15970 Part of it's the view, part is perceived safety, part of it is that they think it makes them alpha. Very few pickup trucks that aren't either part of a fleet or bearing a business's logo are actually used for work or anything that would merit really driving a pickup truck.
They already stopped production on the only one that mattered I miss you Falcon-kun
>>15970 Dunno about Trucks but utes work well for tradies and outdoorsy folk
>>15973 Tacoma's are shit Hiluxs are much better
>>15964 Good >>15968 Fuck. I want this cancer off my roads.
>>16049 Which cancer? Underpowered small hatchback shitboxes or oversized but cramped crossovers? or both?
>>16045 What's the real difference?
