Crown Vic. Excursion. Windstar. Eseries (!!!!).
People LIKED that shit. Whatever you think of them, these models had their niches. Theyd keep coming back if Ford kept selling em.
I mean seriously, how the HELL do you give up almost the entire Police market, and the entire Taxi aftermarket like that?????
Oh and killing the (admittedly lame as hell looking, but industry standard) Town Car for....that PT cruiser looking thing???? Mercedes and BMW thank you for all those industry contracts!!! Used to be Limo = Lincoln by default. now call a limo company or UberBlack and you'll get an Eklasse, 7 series, or Chevy Suburban
WTH is the point of killing pretty much ALL models with guaranteed return customers for life??? Except the Exploder, although a couple more recall cockups and that might no longer sell itself either....
PS ...is that **ALL** thanks to CAFE, CARB, etc. making it impossible to prioritize 8 cylinder models? If so, shit, they should've snapped up some small city car manufacturer and sold a few million Peugeots or Daihatsu kei cars or something, even if it's at cost or as loss leaders, but kept their core business untouched
