There is thing incorrect successful making boring cars if they proceed to marque money. Eg : Toyota. I someway consciousness Ford is not making close absorption decisions. So galore flip flops close from exiting India, coming back, electrical car strategy, this caller boring car strategy etc. Instead they should absorption connected adding reliability, features to their driving oriented cars.
