August 2018: Ford Motor Company

Here is the first company that truck / SUV sales are surpassing the drop in car sales, I do have to question why kill off a product like the Fusion that is still selling 11,286 cars in a month or trending over 135,000 cars for the year in sales. That just seems weird to me.

C-MAX truly has dropped off the cliff.

81,000 F150's!!!  Holy crap that is a lot.

But Ford is killing off about 30,000 of their 209,000 sales from the month.   And those people aren't going to buy an F150, but I guess Ford doesn't care if they lose those customers.

Not enough profit in sub-$30k cars, I guess... by ditching cars, their ATP number goes up.

They can shutter every last plant as far as I am concerned.
