"The first quarter showed our team worked hard to maintain retail share and navigate a changing industry, while underlying demand remains strong for F-Series, SUVs and the Ford Pro business," said President of Ford Blue and Model e, Andrew Frick. "We’re focusing on our high-demand segment strengths while continuing to meet the needs of our customers with affordable and premium vehicle choices," he added.

Currently nothing I bought 15 years ago has a new version that isn’t smaller, plastic, jammed with extra accessories I don’t want, and shuts off at stoplights. Most don’t have a spare tire. Personally I’ll likely never buy a new car again, especially given the nearly 50% jump in prices, but not my paycheck. I can buy a restored classic for new car prices now, and I probably will.

Plus, the Mustang is an electric CUV now? Really?
