General Motors has reduced sedan production, with the Impala and the low-priced, fuel-efficient Chevrolet Sonic compact reportedly on the chopping block. Ford’s move is only the latest that signals the end of an era for the sedan, at least as the vehicle of choice for the masses. Toyota’s Camry and Honda’s Accord, which often vie for the title of best-selling U.S. sedan, declined 5 per cent and 19 per cent, respectively, according to Bloomberg. Ford will introduce hybrid versions of the Escape and Explorer SUVs, as well as the reintroduced Bronco, due in 2020. Ford said Canadian operations will remain intact since they are focused on light trucks and SUVs.
