Are the CD'S days numbered?

Ford will no longer put CD players in new cars. Are they going the way of cassette and 8 track?

Hard to say which, although I think oblivion would be a much longer time coming than it was for 8-track, simply because of the number of CDs in existence and their durability. Personally I lean towards "niche product," but my crystal ball has always had poor reception.

The CDs will be discontinued in the newer models, which happens to include US as well as the european cars. These are the facts my friends!
