Interesting reads, thanks. Interesting in the divergence of views from the most pessimistic to optimistic. Bummer, just hit my limit on articles without a subscription |

There isn't a sedan that looks enticing enough to buy in Ford's line-up. Compare Ford's line-up with Honda and Toyota, it's night and day. It's not hard to see why American consumers prefer Japanese brands. |

All Fusions and Fiestas are built by angry Mexicans whose poor workmanship and reliability has hurt sales...Ford has shot itself in the foot by shifting production to Mexico and pending tariffs.............

Yeah, It looks like I will never buy another American car. I expect there will be some gas shortage in the future and Ford will go belly up. |

Are the directors of FoMoCo best at deciding how to maximize corporate earnings? This issue of international auto production is very, very complicated. Trump has already demonstrated that he doesn't know jack about it. |

Ford management has been ignorant of future tariff wars....That is the real reason they are abandoning making cheap cars............

Evidently, things in the sedan world are not all wonderful for the others either. Honda is cutting production too. https://jalopnik.com/hondas-cutting-down-accord-production-because-were-all-1824144162 |

The passenger car is a "mature technology" facing revolutionary changes (electric, self-driving). Manufacturing has been globalized for a couple of generations, creating a complex supply chain to match the rapidly changing demand (market). In these circumstances, government manipulation by taxes and tariffs doesn't do much good. The best approach is a regulated free market with retraining as needed for the workforce. |
