Ask Mr. Passion why he killed off Ford cars and small SUVs.
I was a lifelong Ford fan. I owned a 1965 Mustang, a Ford XL convertible, an Escort, and a Focus. And I currently own a recall-plagued Ford Escape PHEV. Ford discontinued the Escape this year. Why? Why couldn't they just make it BETTER? I was a loyal Ford customer for decades (my entire adult life), until Ford made it impossible. Now, they are basically just a pickup company.
