    They don’t make reasonably sized or affordable cars anymore,

    In Europe they do, and it’s still a reasonably popular brand despite Trump.

      That must have changed recently then, because last I checked they only really had the Mustang left over.
      Ever since they discontinued the Ford Focus and Ford Fiesta

      Edit: Looks like they introduced the Ford Puma since then, and a handfull of SUVs

        The explorer is a mid size car. I USA it would go as a CUV.

        Edit:
        The European Explorer EV is a mid size car.

          The Ford Explorer is not even close to being a mid-size car

          Here is it compared to a Peugeot 2008, which is a “mid-sized” car by European standards
          https://www.carsized.com/en/cars/compare/peugeot-2008-2023-suv-vs-ford-explorer-2019-suv/

          The Ford Explorer is an absolute tank compared to the Peugeot

            The 2008 is a pumped up 208, and is absolutely a small car, bumped up a bit from a sub compact.
            The CUV is not for compact, it signifies crossover which means it has driving capability like a sedan.
            The CUV is a pumped up sedan, the 2008 is a pumped up sub micro.

            The ID.4 I own is a medium sized car. And the explorer is actually a bit smaller.

            Peugot 2008 / Ford Explorer comparison (Explorer is of courser the BEV version as BEV is 70% of the market here)
            https://www.carsized.com/en/cars/compare/peugeot-2008-2023-suv-vs-ford-explorer-ev-2024-suv/

            The comparison between 2008 and ID.4 is not nearly as extreme here as the picture you show?
            https://www.carsized.com/en/cars/compare/peugeot-2008-2023-suv-vs-volkswagen-id4-2020-suv/

            IDK if one is an American explorer and the other European?
            Looks like the picture you show is from the same site?

            Edit:
            Made the same link twice by accident. So I corrected links and added a bit of explanation.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
