Most people in America are not going to buy a sports car, so companies like Ford are better off using their resources for building smaller, safer, and more fuel efficient cars. The recession is far from over, so dumping development money into a sports car is just not a safe plan. Sure, we the car loving people of this country will be sad about it. But in the end, it will keep the company making money. It isn't about what we want, it is about what will sell the best.
