The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Ford have stopped making the Escape 2-row crossover. Not a great car in any case. They do still make the Bronco Sport 2-row crossover, which is a more "stylish", rugged looking vehicle. Built in Mexico, likely far better margins than the Escape.

Yes, they've stopped making those ICE 2-row SUV's. But I'm not entirely sure that their plan was to stop making all two-row SUV's forever, or whether it was more that they weren't going to create a new model/upgrade of an ICE 2-row SUV instead of a BEV since the future was going to be all-electric.
