They will offer what they think will sell and make money. Those big vehicles did that for them for quite some time. That doesn't work any more so its back to the '70s and early '80s. I hope that they do better now than they did then.

Ford has the plan, but I'm not sure that they have the money now. I discussed the whole shebang with a dealer a few weeks ago when I purchased a gently used Taurus. The dealer was excited about the prospect of selling some small, quality vehicles. That's why he showed me the materials that he had been sent by Ford explaining the plan.

You might like the smallish Escape hybrid while you wait for the Volt utility vehicle, which I assume will be offered if the Volt sedan does reasonable well and quite a few people ask about a SUV/crossover variation.
