When I was in Germany last year I saw some Fusions (maybe Mondeos) that were sport wagons sort of like the Dodge Magnum. I wished they had those over here, really sharp.

Sounds like Management through Bookkeeping instead of having Engineers run the company.

That is what happened to save GM when the Bean Counters were replaced with real car people.
Soon after GM started winning best in class..

Only vehicle that got such a commendation was the Ford Expedition.

Cadillac is going through an identity crisis
Not sure losing Pontiac and Oldsmobile was a good idea.
But GM has done well.

Rumor is many of the new car manufactures are getting out of sedans and going to SUV's and pickups. More people want pickups and SUV's... supply & demand :)

The Japanese did not develop the system. The Japanese implemented a system developed by American Arthur Deming. He tried to get the US carmakers to use his system but they told him to get lost.

What Ford really said was that it is going to stop building sedans in the USA. Ford did not say it would not sell cars in the US that were made somewhere else.

In Europe the Mondeo/Fusion and the Focus are still available as wagons.
