Bloggin is suggesting that replacing low margin sedans with zero margin BEV sedans would be a better solution. Hard to see that math working, but I do hope for it from Ford.

That all sounds logical ONLY if you ignore this part....

"A Cadillac spokesman said the luxury brand plans to replace the compact ATS, midsize CTS and large XTS sedans with two new sedans,..."

GM more than any one of the ICE companies is set to launch the next gen EV sedans. They see all that pent up demand the Model 3 has exposed in the global marketplace.

GM May Also Exit the U.S Car Market, Morgan Stanley Says
Bloomberg - Craig Trudell & David Westin - May 11, 2018

General Motors Co. may follow its Detroit peers in taking the off ramp from the American passenger-car market, according to Morgan Stanley.

The maker of Chevrolet, Buick and Cadillac sedans might mimic Ford Motor Co., which is keeping only the Mustang muscle car in the lineup, and Fiat Chrysler, which no longer manufactures sedans in the U.S., Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas said Friday.

“All three of the Detroit Three automakers have something in common: They’ve all been exiting the car business,” Jonas said in a Bloomberg Television interview. “We think that GM is going to follow” Fiat Chrysler and Ford, he said.

The transformation of GM, Ford and Fiat Chrysler’s lineups will factor in how the companies approach negotiations with the Trump administration and California regulators over the future of fuel economy standards, Jonas said. On one hand, the automakers will press for relaxed federal rules to protect their truck and SUV businesses. At the same time, the manufacturers are investing heavily in electric vehicles to appease the Golden State.

I wonder if there would be a place for the Euro Ford S-Sax in North America,

And this is the Ford Galaxy stable mate, much more of a mini van
