To be fair the new Ford sucks in the US (as far as I know) they discontinued the fiesta (even in the EU) and the Focus in the US. What decent models are even still in production? The gas-guzzler trucks people buy to drive their kids to kindergarten? (This isn't my stereotype about the US, I see this in Ljubljana)
Wall Street demands immediate returns, so Ford has to sell what makes the most profit the fastest. There's a future or there waiting, but fuck all that shit. Pay them now.
The only passenger car that Ford makes any more is the Mustang, which is a muscle car.
The US auto industry has been having issues competing starting in the 70's with the gas crisis.
