The full news release with a breakdown of sales numbers is linked below. Looking at the table, I guess they lumped Sport Trac sales in with Explorers, 'cause the Sport Trac model isn't listed.:smile0003:

Amazing what you can do when you don't whine to the government, but instead think ahead, and work towards giving what the people want, at a price they are willing to pay, and back it with quality!



I think the big three shouldn't be GMC, Chevy and Ford, it should be Ford, Lincoln, Mercury!

how many fusions, escapes & exploreres sold to fleet markets?

i know that ford was pushing these models to the fleet customer with some huge discounts.

either way, a good thing except the residual.



yes bill, i feel the same way. a nice little investment

I saw this on the news last night, but dispite the big gains by Ford, it was reported they are still losing money?? Just not as bad as they did before.



I'm pretty sure Ford will make it, but I still feel that GM will be closing it's doors soon. I think we taxpayers are just throwing more good money after bad trying to keep them afloat.

I play an online stock market game with a bunch of other guys. I came in second place for 2009 and am currently in first place for 2010. My only stock has been Ford. :smile0015:
