While I mostly agree with your statements, I think you could argue that Ford is up there with Honda, if not ahead of them in supporting (if not pushing) hybrids. The Fusion hybrid outsells the Accord hybrid (at least in the U.S.) by a wide margin, and not far behind the Prius.

Where does the fusion fit in Ford's plan to build Mustangs and trucks only? [1]

Honestly you're right. While they've been selling more and more Fusion hybrids every year, they have largely shifted plans away from the sedan. My bad - not sure where they're going next. They might get behind hybrids, but the past performance is not indicative of the future!

Hybrid F150s and Mustangs are both expected in the next few years.

2020 will be the last model year for the Fusion Hybrid (production will end in 2021):
