No kidding. Of the current Ford product offering, the best midsize sedan they have is the Mazda6, best CUV is the CX-9 and of course the Miata is iconic. Ford has used the Mazda6 platform for so many products - and the Mazda engineers have infused many rather dull products with a little life through their partnership.
Without Mazda - Ford is just trucks and SUVs. As you said, Mazda is probably the only think they have worth selling at this point.
