If you live in the United States or Canada and have been eyeing a new Ford Fusion, get one while you can.

Hatchbacks and sedans don't sell as well as those vehicles, and only two models will remain on the market: the Mustang and Focus Active, a new crossover-like hatchback that will debut next year.
