Is anyone really asking for a truck this small? I guess sales will tell us but both the Ranger and Colorado moved up to mid-size after their hiatus. I guess this is your new entry level small car when you aren't making cars anymore.

Have you seen one of those Hyundai truck things up close? Someone at my work has one. It is freaking TINY!

I had posted this up in another thread...Just about all are impacted. Not surprising plans for future unreleased models have changed...Maverick is not unaffected by all this. Sure to be many others.

More bad news re chips and car prices...

Back in the spring, a shortage of computer chips that had sent auto prices soaring appeared to be finally easing. Some relief for consumers seemed to be in sight. But that hope is now fading, as a surge in COVID-19 cases from the Delta variant in several Asian countries is worsening the supply shortage, further delaying a return to normal auto production and keeping the supply of vehicles artificially low.

That means record-high consumer prices for vehicles — new and used, as well as rental cars — will likely extend into next year and might not return to earth until 2023, according to analysts.

In July, new-car prices hit a new record for the fourth straight month, according to Kelley Blue Book. The average transaction, at $42,736, was 8% higher than one year ago, with a typical new car costing above the manufacturer's suggested retail price.

Sales of new cars, meanwhile, have been tumbling a mirror image of prices. In August, new vehicle sales in the U.S. fell nearly 18%, mainly because of supply shortages. Not counting the drop in 2020, August's "pace of sales is the lowest since late 2011 during the recovery from the Global Financial Crisis," Oxford Economics' Mahir Rasheed wrote in a research note.

"A storm of headwinds including the global semiconductor shortage, expiring fiscal support, and a spending rotation towards services will preclude sales from returning to their early 2021 pace," he wrote.

It essentially is Ford's entry level product at this point.
