Talking about affordable cars, and then going on about F series trucks, is pretty out of touch.

And I'm not sure what vehicles they sell where you live, but they've stopped selling the Mondeo, focus, and Fiesta, the smallest brand new Ford you can buy near me is a mustang.

Maverick.

According to the American consumer, they are affordable, or else they wouldn't be the most popular new car.

Also, you were the one that brought up affordability.

I drive a 90s volvo and you can pry it from my cold dead hands. I have no intention of buying a new vehicle any time soon. It has nothing to do with me being out of touch and everything to do with statistics concerning vehicle sales.

The American consumer is swimming in debt. What new cars they buy is not indictive of affordable. Look at the loan lengths from 10 years ago to today. 72 month loans are now normal, and 84/96 is becoming more normal than they should.
