[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 921801, member: 56140"] The reason the ST is ceasing production is because of the public switch from a body on frame SUV to a Uni-body CUV. Because of that, the Ford Explorer is going to a FWD/AWD Uni-body design that gets better gas mileage. Lets face it, nobody takes a 4x4 SUV with a $30,000+ price tag off roading. Since the ST is based off of the Explorer chassis, and a complete switch of the Explorer design and build, it just isn't practical to keep the ST alive. The sales are there, but not enough to justify running a production line to keep the ST alive. This has nothing to do with Obama. This has nothing to do with Bush (well, I think it does since the shift started because of high gas prices during his reign as president), but I digress. Tom [/QUOTE]
