Plenty of people buy sedans. That's why Accords, Camrys, Civics, and Corollas are among the top selling vehicles in the country.

ford suicided their sedan lineup when they stopped selling big "american" cars and instead focused on bloated fwd based econo boxes that simply cannot compete with their asian variants. The fact that the taurus is fords only "full-sized" sedan is laughable. Then they did double suicide by basing lincoln sedans on the same watered down platforms as the ford lineup.

Yep. Thankfully, it looks like they're going to start trying to right the ship over at Lincoln. Hopefully, the next Continental will be riding on a RWD platform.

They loaded up on small cars to meet CAFE. Honda and Toyota aren't doing all that well with their cars either.

Honda halted production on the accord for 11 days due to lack of sales.

The Camry is selling well but that's because they made it look good.

True, but they still sell a ton of them, and more importantly, make money on them.

There will always be a market for cars. Ford is simply making a business decision to not compete.

For a Camry it's stylish (makes me do a double take), but all I see is way too many hints of Lexus styling cues that makes me feel like they tried too hard. IMO that front end is horrendous.
Front end looks like a bird got its beak smashed in.

Well Lexus is their brand, so no surprise if styling cues from their luxury brand are starting to make its way to their bargain brand.

We went hyundai. Same mohs and features, 100k warranty. Its got 90k and has only ever needed maintenance

The only thing that I hate about my hyundai is dealer experience (3 in my area and they all are retarded), whereas the Ford dealer we go to is awesome. 54k on my gen and it hasnt had a single issue though.
