This certainly is an interesting segment of the market to look at. Ford is abandoning the Ranger now that the V6 versions of the modern F-150 are too close in size, capability and fuel economy to the new Global Ranger. GM is bringing a global version of the new Colorado out very soon. Chrysler is abandoning the mid-size market and leaving it to Toyota, Nissan, and Honda with the Tacoma, Frontier and Ridgeline respectively.
What are your thoughts on this shift in the market?
