Let's build big trucks and suv's. That's was the thinking in the late '70's and '80's. Then all at once. They was left holding their nutsacks, wondering what just happen. Those who don't remember their history are doom to repeat it. But I think they are setting themselves for the future by maximizing today on what sells now. As a consumer. When this turn around happens. We will be left holding onto massive dept from buying all of these big vehicles. And then being forced into buying electric vehicles. And adding even more dept.

The BOY scouts

Anything that gets our testosterone pumping that we enjoy as men/boys. They want us in skinny jeans driving Prius' and drinking Starbucks while chatting with other guys about trimming our beards and having debates about being fair to our wives.

Fvck that.
Gimmie gasoline.

That sucks, I had a focus ST before the Z. It’s a hell of a package for the price. There’s not much out there with that performance for the price new.

That's like FCA dropping the 392 for the 426 next year. Lets push what sells the best now. Maximize cash flow. So that we have some later on.

Spot on Rusty.
Ford will dump poor selling cars.Go with high profit trucks and Suvs.Gear up for the electrics like it or not.

Let's just say, someone took the blue pill and drank the kool-aide.

I feel you brother... That's why I kept my comment as basic as possible but... within the comment, like minded people understand. And I feel what you can't say.

Yeah but this time.... We have major players like BMW and Porsche, falling into the pansywagen, making mangina mobiles that don't rev or grunt. So Ford can happily do these things while in their safe space, and get in touch with their feminine side of automobile production. Yes, Ford's blue oval is a blue pill.

I had a green Focus RS MK2 and then a Vauxhall VXR8 (Holden Commodore). Both nice cars although the VXR8 was too thirsty.
