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.

You can NOT give away junk so how can they expect to sell it !

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.

Just perhaps maybe people like me,6'3" and 250lbs.not being able to bend enough to get in and out could be a reason.John Kissel

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).

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 !

Who cares !

Re: Why is Ford getting out of building sedans?
 

I agree....Most new stuff is pure junk. I have a 2010 Corvette and wished I had NEVER bought it. My 67 and 79 is twice the car. NO COMPUTERS ! I raced my old 1969 Corvette back in 1970-1972. I could take it apart and back together blind folded. The 2010.......NO WAY !
