Yeah. I was so disappointed when they announced they were discontinuing all of their sedans in favor of those obnoxious-looking crossovers that look like, and are only slightly smaller than, the shoe that old lady used to live in.

Edit: As pointed out, I was mistaken and they're not too much larger than a sedan. I was recalling what I think were Ford's early concept models.

    Auto manufacturers are terrible at writing software. For my next new car, I won’t even consider a car that doesn’t include CarPlay. That excludes several US brands, but oh well. That was their idiotic choice.

    I think the concept of a crossover is fine (I drive an older one), but the ever-growing boxy hoods and rising beltline make for worse visibility and pedestrian safety. I wish there were more new sedan, hatchback, and station wagon options instead of a vehicle size arms race.

    Fair enough on the size (I recall Ford's being more SUV-sized, but that may have just been early concepts), but I still think they look like an ugly shoe. There are other makes/models that have similar designs, and I don't care for them either for the same reason.
