As a part of its “Way Forward” plan, Ford will discontinued its GT supercar according to a report published this morning by the Detroit News. The car is currently built at the Wixom plant, which is scheduled to close next year under the company’s restructuring plan. A spokesperson said the company had only planned a two year production run anyway, and that will end in September. Ford will also discontinued the Lincoln LS, according to the report. Lastly, it was reported that Ford has cancelled plans to build the high-performance Sport Trac Adrenaline. The last car to be discontinued will be the Lincoln Town Car.

I didn’t really like the SVT Sport Track anyway. The GT was awsome and will be missed….a moment of silence please. Whats a Lincoln? O…they still make those?! Maybe someday Ford, DCX and GM will be on par with the others. If they do make it we, the consumer, will be the winners.
If they need to kill a few brands to survive then so be it.

6000 people, primarily the cruft on the German Mercedes-Benz side. Holy crap, I love car sites. No one knows what the hell they’re talking about.

If everything was just peachy at DCX they could have found some new projects for those 6000 people don’t you think. My point with the Stratus comment was to point out that in any segment where DCX compeats with Toyota they lose on a quality and refinement standpoint. They might sell more Rams than Tundras now but what about 5, 10, or 15 years down the raod. If you don’t have quality now you won’t have customers later.
