This is a dumb move.

Is it? I heard Ford loses money on every sedan they sell.

By and large, people want crossovers (butch, high-riding station wagons), SUVs and trucks.

So, it's no wonder self-driving cars are the future. Few people enjoy driving anymore. They'd rather be texting and watching two-minute YouTube videos.

But, me, I'm a dinosaur. I intend to keep on driving manual-transmission sedans to my grave.

It seems like a short term plan but in the long term, how do they regain any market share if cars make a comeback.

I also wonder if they will keep making Lincolns MKZ and Continental.

Tough to find Manual Rear Wheel Drive these days...
May have to build my own
