Maybe you missed...
If the reports are accurate, it may mean Ford plans to exit the mid-size sedan segment in North America or replace the Fusion with a new model.
Sales of the current car are down 22 percent in the United States through November
That is my take away from this. The sales patterns are changing and Ford is adjusting. Crossover SUV’s have taken a big bite out of passenger car sales. Ford has not been a big player in the Mid-Level passenger car market since the Taurus/Sable in the ‘80’s and ‘90’s.
They need to change the look of the grill on the Ford Fusion.
