Here in the Detroit area we've known for a long time that was coming. When total US car sales are dropping at a rate of something like 1.5M per year as people move to trucks/suv's, it was just a matter of time. The same major swing has begun in Europe as well. When Honda can not sell the best Honda Accord ever - its clearly evident that people want something else. I know not everyone wants a beefy pickup or SUV with interior room comparable to a New York studio apartment, but the biggest car benefit - fuel economy - has been lost as they are now very comparable. And people now place greater value on space and utility.
You only have to ask yourself, when was the last time you got excited about a new car - - that wasn't a sports car?

The move could help the sales of Lincolns. At the very least, Ford will only be selling the large cars that have the higher profit margin in the Lincoln line-up.

The Ford and Lincoln sludgy tour cars have a responsive audience to those loving in retirement villages. I'm not one of those; they're not for me - I prefer a spirited SUV. Thanks!
