Ford's only car on offer is the Mustang, everything else is some kind of compact SUV, full size SUV, or truck. Other automakers are similar (some offer more sedans and hatches still). Guess I won't be buying a Ford when I need a new car.

I really liked my focus. And when I went to buy a new one they tried to sell me a hideous SUV. I'm not bringing any kids to soccer, I don't want your gas guzzler. I bought a Subaru because they still make cars. Tall vehicles suck ass to drive and I wish more people realized it.

Did they drop the Focus and Fiesta?
