Remember when Ford used to sell regular cars? Technically, it is still that, but Mustang is a specialized model, and the Taurus is limited here to a handful of markets. However, Blue OVAL plans to launch new products that are not trucks, SUVs or trucks. This promise comes from William Clay Ford Junior, the grandson of the company’s founder, Henry Ford, and CEO since 2006.
In an interview with AutocarBell Ford admitted that the company lacks regular car offers after stopping KA, FISTA, Focus, Fusion, etc.: “On the side of the passenger car, we realize that we are not strong as we need to be.” He added that there is a plan to reform this gap in the squad: “We are working on our future strategy at the present time. But I think you will be surprised – I was surprised by pleasure – what will happen.”

It is too early to say whether any of these new cars will reach North America. The rumors were once about a four -door Sedan Mustang, which Mach 4 received, but Ford never confirmed this. In Europe, however, talk Cars The report claimed that merchants had already been informed New cars coming. With Ford’s decline in its plan to go only on the continent by 2030, the new models are likely to use combustion engines. It will be a logical step given how the explorer and Capri EVS are Sales.
Talking about VW products, can be more in business. Martin Sanders, Sales and Marketing Director at Vagon (and Ford from the President of Europe until last year), alluded to More cooperation: “(We) do not want to exclude that there are future opportunities here to share technology again.” It is not clear whether it indicates more electric cars on the MEB platform for VW or gas -operating vehicles in the MQB structure.
In both cases, Ford’s decision to return passenger cars a shift from CEO Jim Farley’s statement last year. At that time, he said that Ford was. “Exit from boring cars And to the distinguished works of the car. The “boring” list consisting of cars that Farley admitted, “was loved by many customers, but they were unable to justify more capital allocating – unlike commercial vehicles.”
In short, Ford did not earn enough money on it, so it cut it to multiply the high -sideline trucks and other profitable parts. For new models, mathematics is supposed to work for Ford. Whether they will take an abbreviation through the Volkswagen track still should be seen, but one thing is clear: cars return.
