Is Ford dying?

They went away from Brazil because their cars weren't competitive. Even in GeoGuessr if I see a Ford I know that I'm in USA, because is the only place where they are used. I do not follow the auto market, but I never hear news about this iconic brand.




Far from it - the F150 has been the best selling vehicle for over 40 years, and they do nearly 200b in revenue.

I think they just quit competing on price and volume - they've gutted their entire car lineup except for the Mustang, for example. In my own shopping, I found that Ford was considerably more expensive than the alternatives. Even the much advertised Maverick is creeping into the 30ks. Maybe it's worth it, I sure wasn't going to find out...but they do sell a -lot- of trucks.


Sort of, but the popularity of the F-150 and Mustang could prop up quite a large company. There's a reason they stopped selling sedans even in the US, though.
