One of my pet peeves is that fact that American car manufacturers are no longer making sedans. Certainly there are a few left like a Mustang or a Corvette, but for the most part sedans are a thing of the past.
Detroit tells us that their market research shows the U.S. consumers no longer want sedans, only SUV’s crossovers, and trucks. If that’s the case, why do foreign manufacturers continue to make sedans and apparently do well with them?
I can understand having just a couple models and not going overboard, but to do away with them entirely doesn’t make sense to me.
My first car was a 1976 Ford Pinto and I’ve had Ford’s my entire car owning life until 2021 when I went Japanese to have a sedan. I’m old enough to remember when Ford had many models to choose from; Pinto, Falcon, Fairlane, Mustang, Galaxy and LTD. Through out the years they added and subtracted many models like the Escort, Contour, Focus, Fusion, and Taurus. Ford has it’s Mercury division. With GM, we had Buicks, Oldsmobiles, Pontiacs, Saturns, and Chevys. Some of you may remember American Motors as well.
In “the old days” we had color!, now it’s black, white, red, gray, silver and sometimes blue or green. We even had interior color choices, white, black, blue, red among others.
It’s a shame that with all of the trials and tribulations of the auto industry, that they have lost all of their imagination.
That’s all for now.
I will be back!
