This is interesting:

"That’s because there isn’t much margin in small, cheap cars any more. Right now, Fiesta isn’t viable, and the same will be true for other brands.[...]"

I wonder why. Are young people not buying cars anymore?

I think the key is "not much margin" - they just aren't making enough profit and presumably don't want to put the price up.

Rather, they already have put the prices up as high as the market is willing to bear.
