    Did they get to that low price point by changing a manufacturing process or did they just cut quality checks?

    I’m still waiting for a small city car like the Honda ‘e’ prototype.

        Seriously, I’m appalled that Ford has fully stopped selling sedans and hatchback in the US for several years at this point. You can get a small crossover SUV, and the other small car they still sell is the Mustang.

        I really, really hate SUVs.

            Too big, inefficient, handle worse than a car, more expensive… Take your pick.

          Yeah, but at 2/3 overweight or obese by population, the average American is too fat for small hatchbacks. Enormous, child smashing pickups @ 12mpg are just A-OK tho.

      It wasn’t a prototype. They sold it for 4 years in Japan and Europe, but it recently got the axe.

      It’s a really dope car in person, but a lot of people avoided it because it was about $44k for a car that only got 135mi of range.

    17.7″ infotainment

    Wow, how fast is that 0-60?

    Jokes aside, that looks like an insanely good offer, at just $27,495 after tax credit, and with 319 mile range (513 km) .
    The article is very sparse on details though. But here (EU) that range would be amazing at that price.
