Why is Ford getting out of building sedans?
I read a little while ago, that Ford is getting out of building sedans. I know the reasoning behind it, they sell more trucks than sedans but they're just beginning building really fast cars.lol This 2017 Ford Fusion V6 TT AWD ran some 12.90's at 106mph.at my local track with no problems.

There must be more to scale of sales needed than I understand. They sold over 209000 Fusions in 2017. You would think they made money on that many cars.

Re: Why is Ford getting out of building sedans?
Don't forget about all the GM crap that's been coming from China in the last few years. Not sure if this is a completely correct answer but the big 3 have always had problems making a profit from building subcompacts.The Japanese make money because they have developed a system over the years. Its hard to beat them. China **** is one thing, what about the Indian ****/CRA*. Their manufacturing processes, from the items that I have bought for my business, make the Model T look like aircraft grade. I'm thinking that cars from the 60-70's that have a good source of aftermarket parts are the automotive deal for the future.Updated and government restriction free. they will get you from A to B is style with reasonable economy and comfort. You will need to know how to drive a car(non autonomous).

Re: Why is Ford getting out of building sedans?
Heh Heh I knew someone would respond sooner or later. . I loved my 1963 390 Police interceptor Fast Back with a 4 speed I had a few years back. It was like new with 53,000 original miles. It was Black with a Red interior and straight as an arrow. You probably could melt it down and make 6 newer Fords out of the steel in it. I love older Mustangs up thru 1970. and most older Fords but you can keep the new stuff. Wished I had kept the 63 !
