I don't feel like the risk is very high for Ford. The Ford Edge CUV gets 21/29 mpg. It isn't like in 2008 where a Ford Excursion got maybe 12 mpg. Giant SUVs just don't sell these days. Another factor is that Ford will continue to produce stuff like the Fiesta and Focus in Europe. If gas prices start climbing, they should be able to retool some factories and pivot back. GM's CEO Mary Barra also just announced they are still committed to sedans and more efficient vehicles. They don't have much choice in the matter if I recall correctly due to the terms of their re-org / bailout. I've no idea what Fiat-Chrysler is doing, as they seem to only produce gas guzzlers. They seem to have no plans whatsoever to produce a normal vehicle and just keep adding variants of models subject to the EPA gas-guzzler tax.
