WHICH Ford Nameplate Are You SAD To See Go As Cars And Sedans Get The CHOP?

As I've noted in previous stories, the great Ford purge of 2018 will be remembered for years to come. Whether it elevates or decimates the brand is to be seen.

All I know is there's quite a bit of risk involved. You see, if gas prices spike like we saw in 2008-2009, Ford is going to be left pretty damn exposed.

According to reports, the only two cars left by 2020 will be the Mustang and Focus Active.

That means the following are getting the boot:

- Fusion
- Focus
- Fiesta
- C-Max
- Taurus

Keep in mind that means no more Focus ST, Focus RS, Fiesta ST or Taurus SHO.

So, I've got to ask: WHICH Ford model are you going to MISS the most? Any?

I would have thought that with the Lincoln cars based on the platform - that the Fusion would survive as well - since they could be made at the same time. However - it has been a while since Ford has had any competitive cars in their lineup. The Taurus -when last redesigned - was reduced so much in the back seat from the 500 - that it made no sense - the Fusion had equal rear seat room. ANd it is in rear seat room where most of the lineup suffered - in comparison to competition - something you cannot easily "incentive" your way out of.

I'll miss none of them because none of them were iconic.

The Focus Active is also dead, but that's probably a good thing as I cannot imagine anyone being fooled into believing that a Focus hatchback is a crossover.

Lincoln is moving to CD6. The talk is that the MKZ and Continental will merge into a new Continental repositioned to the MKZ price.
