The screwed part is Ford is now going to be even more dependent on the 25% tariff on import trucks remaining in place. There is no such tariff on import cars.

On a lighter note You can get a new Fiesta ST for under $18K in a lot of places. Working on my wife to replace the old Corolla
I really like the Fiesta ST, fun little car all the way around. I do agree with you that sedans are a very competitive market, even more reason Ford should have cleaned up their reliability issues with the double clutch transmissions. Bad news travel very fast these day's,oh well time will tell.
