I read the edmunds one. . Ford is dumb. I can't believe their "way forward" plan does not include small cars. Small cars are big now. The cars they hope to bring them foward are just regurgitated trash that resulted their downfalling in the first place.

I know, I really love ford cars the most out of american car company's, because chevy makes crappy plastic underpowered, and underengineered garbage, and Dodge only sells power, like Nissan, this is a poor move. However ever time Ford looks to revive their share they keep adding suv's. More Fiesta's, Focus Rs's, Mondeo 220's, and European Ford Focus's please, otherwords, Small Car's should be 40 percent of the model lineup, If they did that the Company would be ahead, and would be self-sufficient. However since they didn't offer any small cars, or hatchbacks that offered the mileage, and reliability, I bought a Honda Fit sport instead.
