Back in April, Ford announced that it was phasing out all small cars except the Ford Mustang and the Ford Focus Active in North America.

What's the big deal anyway? China floods the US with knock-offs and lead lined
products anyway. Don't blame it on the Tariffs, that brings jobs and production
back to the U.S.
