HEY, BIG SAVER: Ford Plans $11.5 Billion in Extra Cuts, Kills Slow-Selling Cars.

Ford said it won’t invest in new generations of sedans for the North American market, eventually reducing its car lineup to the Mustang and an all-new Focus Active crossover coming out next year. By 2020, almost 90 percent of its portfolio in the region will be pickups, SUVs and commercial vehicles, the company said.

That means the end of the road for slow-selling sedans such as the Taurus, Fusion and Fiesta in the U.S. The automaker conspicuously left the Lincoln Continental and MKZ sedans off its hit list, but since those models share mechanical foundations with Ford siblings, their futures also are in doubt.

It’s been sad watching the not-so-slow death of the Great American Sedan, but customer tastes have shifted to light trucks and crossovers in a big way.
