I think it's a bad move to nearly eliminate sedans. Some of my feeling is just personal preference but car buyers are so fickle they might be back into sedans in a heartbeat especially if sedans are modified just a little to set higher and more hatchbacks or small wagons. I love our 2017 Focus hatch. Sitting higher, 4-wheel drive, etc is overrated and it's nearly impossible to design an SUV to look cool or sporty. They are heavier, get lower MPG and need bigger engines. But the body style has nothing to do with being able to flat tow. It's all about the transmission.
You do realize that they did't eliminate them. The rebranded them as crossovers. Those "suv's" get better MPG than your average car got 15-20yrs ago.
If there is a push back to cars in a "heartbeat", Ford can bring in it's international car models in a "heartbeat, so a quick market shift isn't a big risk.
