Because you guys keep complaining that Ford doesn't build what you want them to build and your complaining won't change that.   We keep explaining over and over why it's a reasonable business decision which you guys just ignore.  That's why it's frustrating.  Ford has a different business plan than Toyota or Hyundai that works better for them even if it doesn't match your personal needs.   It's perfectly fine to be disappointed.  I was disappointed they stopped making supercab Rangers but I understood why they did it.  But saying or implying the company is going under because of the vehicles they killed is patently ridiculous given their financial results and future products.

Cheaper than remodeling Flat Rock to build utilities.  But that is also an option.

Why are you so angry? What we say here doesn't matter.

Is MyFord Conundrum kind of like MyFord Touch?

Build the mustang in Mexico?  interesting.

The models they killed were the most expendable, meaning they were either losing money or not making much to begin with.  This was due to decades of platform mismanagement (e.g. not moving Edge and Nautilus to c2 hybrids back in 2019) and neglect.  But that also gives them a clean sheet to build new platforms that are profitable at lower prices.  Doesn't mean they'll sell a cheap Corolla competitor because that's just a toaster.  But definitely more affordable vehicles.   But I doubt you would like whatever Ford comes up with so why don't you stop complaining and just go buy a Toyota?

They could replace it with mustang suv, sedan and coupe and close Flat Rock.

It makes sense to me to adopt the giga approach with C2 if they can (C3, if you will?)    With CE1 essentially being 3 blocks - front cell with suspension, etc., middle battery pack, and rear cell with rear suspension, I wonder if the front and rear cells can be reused for ICE?  with the middle section being replaced to allow for drive shaft etc.  Or I guess the front may have to be its own design too for motor mounting points, etc.......   So I guess there might be no direct carry over aside from the process itself.

Just to streamline costs, I wonder how realistic it would be to have just 3-4 platforms for Ford moving forward that were all super capable, flexible, and versatile. CE1 for Ford's "normal" cars. They could still be fun passion products, but things like the maverick, bronco sport, escape, future hatchbacks and sedans, and so on, offered in both pure EV and EREV. These would be the super affordable, low cost of ownership, appeals to people who just want a good commuter car crowd.    Then a BoF platform that unpins everything ranger sized all the way up to super duty. The rugged, workhorse platform for trucks, the bronco, commerical vans and other vehicles etc.    Finally the performance platform, a unibody, RWD with AWD capability underpinning the mustang coupe, sedan, gas powered mach-e, and explorer. 

I think the van at Ohio plant will be a full sized Transit EREV, much like what Ford plans to do with Lightning at REVC, smaller battery pack but keep the electric drive and add a range extender ICE… Seems like that solution is way of keeping existing good BEV parts and adding a gas engine generator for less cost than the really big battery.   Thinking Cuautitlan could become evolved C2 plant making EREVs with “giga castings” …..could we see EREV Mach E as simplest Segway?
