Jim Hackett clearly has not been the answer...for now.

And here's my thing. As a performance head, I feel like I have the TECHNICAL capability to understand what people want from a car. But to the root of it, I really have no clue. It would SEEM that the EcoSport and Edge would do very well. In fact I kinda like the Edge Sport and even the SEL 2.0 that I had for a rental when I was getting a half shaft replaced on my 350 wasn't really THAT bad.
So what are everyone's thoughts here? Do manufacturers have TOO many vehicle offerings? Not enough? Where are they missing the mark? Maybe Ford does have a point about ousting their passenger car portfolio and we just haven't seen the positive results yet. Again, let's look at this from an AVERAGE consumer's point of view. Yes, we love our V8's and our turbos and superchargers and all that but remember we are probably about only about 5% of the market. If the rest of the 95% doesn't survive, we don't survive.
