Seems to be totally self inflicted tbh, they've discontinued the Fiesta and Mondeo in recent years, Focus goes at the end of this year and replaced them with an SUV/Crossover lineup named after old models that in no way reflect the old models they're named after. (Puma has become Fiesta crossover, don't even start me on the Capri)

They always used to punch above their weight in terms of value, were reasonably cheap to maintain and pretty solid cars. If there was a Mondeo estate in the lineup I'd literally go buy one this weekend.
