People don’t want domestic economy cars. People who like domestic brands want trucks and SUV’s. People who want economy cars will pretty much only look at Honda/Toyota and both those manufacturers still make economy vehicles.

I have never once seen someone online recommend a ford focus or Chevy cruze to anyone. It’s always a carolla/Camry or civic/accord.

I can't claim to come with an army but I'll recommend the Ford Fusion Hybrid all day long.

My cmax is great for what I need. The interior material and design is better than Toyota. Sure.the toyota interior might last longer but oh well.

People don't want them because they have a rep for being terrible.

And yes I own a civic. A sedan is already more car than I need.

Yeah, that’s kind of my point. Why would they keep making them when they have a rep of being bad and no one buys them? People want their trucks and SUV’s

I find the best way to change your reputation is to change who you are. If you want to be seen as making a good product you should make a good product.

They had from the early 70s to get it together. Make economy cars that people wanted to buy. Instead they continue to make bigger and bigger fuel consuming monsters. Then every recession beg for government money.
