FORD KILLS ALL THEIR SEDANS AND OTHER NEWS! WEEKLY UPDATE

EV Channels Review

This weekly automotive news update covers a significant shift in Ford's strategy, with the manufacturer announcing the discontinuation of all sedans except the Mustang and the upcoming Focus Active. The host expresses shock, attributing the decline of Ford's current sedans (Fiesta, Focus, Taurus, Fusion) to their aging platforms rather than inherent lack of appeal. Enthusiasts will be disappointed by the absence of next-generation Focus ST and RS models in the US, with predictions of increased used market values for existing ST and RS variants. The update also touches on other manufacturer news, including Mitsubishi's potential Lancer crossover, the new 2019 Lexus ES, BMW's iX3 Concept, and various other concept and production vehicle reveals from the Beijing Motor Show. The host highlights the industry-wide trend towards SUVs and trucks, lamenting the loss of traditional sedans from Ford's lineup.
