The only car left is the Mustang and that’s a couple/convertible. The Fusion and the Focus have been dropped and not replaced. The rest are crossovers or trucks or vans.
I wasn’t sure if they sold them in the US. Nice, reliable decent cars, usually had a bonkers edition too like the RS or ST lines. Depressing, I’m in the market for what is functionally a Mondeo (Fusion) estate and there’s absolutely nothing that fits the bill as well as it would have.
The USDM Fiesta (and Focus) were plagued with automatic transmission problems. Manuals are very rare, but stout in any trim. The auto, specifically, was the dual clutch type. The primary issue was clutch failure, possibly from American drivers constantly creeping forward in traffic and burning them down. Supposedly, driving them with more a manual-transmission mindset improved longevity. But even still, the failures weren’t really thaaaat frequent.
But, given US roads, they were largely consider kids’ cars and city cars, both being relatively small sales demographics. The Fusion (Mondeo) was the standard sedan. No wagon in North America.

Ah shoot. Couldn’t remember if there was a third.

A lot of companies were getting rid of all models that were not suvs or trucks. Dumbest thing ever. Small cars ftw
In NA they left the car market aside from the Mustang.
