Ford should roll back truck plans, not EV plans.
most truck drivers don't fucking need a truck, and might be just as happy with smaller vehicles if Ford hadn't stopped fucking building them.
Focus and Fiesta were great cars, especially in hatch/wagon form. Should be good enough for most people.
Then they will go broke, the F150 is one of the world's best selling vehicles and the only reason why Ford isn't bankrupt.
Bullshit, they were awful, because of cheaply designed automatic transmissions that failed repeatedly and Ford kept selling them for 7 years. Even in the sport Focus, they had major engine failures due to poor head gasket design. Focus and Fiesta were top sellers worldwide, but Ford so badly fucked their customers they got out of the car business, now only making the Mustang Boomermobile.
ah I wasn't aware of that, the Fiesta ST we had was a manual so we didn't have much reason to know about that issue.
