Mullally must be thinking about this.

I do find it weird. I really think (contrary to some) that Ford had one of the best lineups of what we think of as cars on the market. The Fusion looked and felt baller (I drove a company Fusion, it was quite nice). Focus is getting long in the tooth but nothing a redesign can't handle. Fiesta is already kinda dead and didn't sell well, and I think there's good reason for that. Their hybrids have also been (too) quietly perhaps the second best on the market behind Toyota.

But as much as I've appreciated Ford through the years, I'll ghost them in an instant for this. OK so I was impressed that I averaged mid-30s in a 2.0EB Escape. But I don't want an escape. I want a car. Preferably a convertible or a wagon. An SUV company doesn't do that.
