I like your thinking but not enough profit for Hackett and the stock market.Since Ford is keeping the Mustang as one of two cars it should warrant a completely dedicated platform now.

This is a good reason to keep the CAFE standards. The head long rush all auto makers are in making SUV's there's no way they will be able to meet the standard unless they spend some money for new technology. And there not going the be able to do that cutting all the engineering jobs to make them look better on the stock market.The wife had one for a few days as a loaner and she liked it except for the fuel economy. She said her Escape (2.0/AWD) got better gas mileage!
What the hell happened to "Ford Performance?"
The Camry is down from the highs it once had, but it's still a huge number of cars. If the Fusion sold as much as the Camry, Ford would have done a next-gen Fusion for America.Camry isn't selling that well either - it's only doing as well as it is due to huge incentives.
The sedan market is dying:

I'm pretty sure the Focus ST and RS will be only for overseas markets for this new gen. The fact that Ford announced a Focus Active for America and left out all other Focus variants means I'm pretty sure the Active is the only one we'll get. Now watch all ST and RS used values hold strong and ADMs spike for the last new Focus RS that are left.Ford just unveiled the new Focus hatchbacks like 2 weeks ago, with the Focus ST and RS rumored to be coming soon. So I'm guessing this next Focus gen will be the last? (not counting the Focus Active crossver)
Only because Toyota is discounting the hell out of them. Right or wrong the whole car segment has been in a decline for a while. As MPG gets better in CUVs (which are nothing more than wagons) people go for the "more room" of the CUV.The Camry is down from the highs it once had, but it's still a huge number of cars.

This doesn't even seem real. They just pushed off the Mustang redesign as well.
They are going to have 2 cars and one is on a 10 y/o chassis?
