DEARBORN, Mich., Oct., 1, 2009 – Ford, Lincoln and Mercury third quarter sales were 5 percent higher than a year ago in the U.S., making Ford the only full-line manufacturer to report a sales increase in the period. In September, Ford sales were 6 percent lower than a year ago. This followed a 2 percent increase in July and a 17 percent increase in August, marking the first time in four years that Ford is reporting a quarterly sales increase. Ford estimates it gained over 2 points of market share versus last year in September and the third quarter. September marked the 11th time in the last 12 months Ford has gained retail market share. "Our balanced new lineup of high-quality, fuel-efficient products helped us navigate through an exceptional period in industry sales," said Ken Czubay, Ford vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service. "With its volatile sales peaks and valleys and dramatic segment shifts, the third quarter was a great test of our One Ford Plan – building a range of vehicles from small cars to hard-working trucks." Ford's third quarter market share gains were paced by the Ford Focus small car, Ford Fusion mid-size car, Ford Escape small utility and Ford F-Series trucks. Internal and external studies continue to show a positive trend in favorable consumer opinion about Ford, and a growing number of consumers are considering the purchase of a Ford vehicle LINK

Ford Flex sales totaled 9,815, up 59 percent versus a year ago. The Flex is among the most fuel-efficient full-size crossover utilities in America. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/woot.gif) So much for it being a failure! Mustang Sales have flattened out also.....though did the Carpmo outsell it again?

QUOTE (Extreme4x4 @ Oct 1 2009, 01:41 PM) Wow. Thats alot better than I expected.
F-series sales are up. WooHoo. Ford beat expectations again. That's all you can really hope for in this economy. Beat expectations and you are the winner competitively. You can't compare it to normal times. Everyone fails if you do that. Ford has beaten expectations for quite some time now. IMO, Ford will keep robbing market share from others, especially GM and Chrysler for many more months.

Also of interest, F-Series +3.5% With c4c in August, they were up ~40%. While certainly not at those levels this month, it is still a good showing. Chevy trucks, even with c4c, were down double digits in August. I'm curious to see their numbers for September.
Ranger sales were way off in September, probably because they sold them all in August. Explorer sales are way up for September and Edge sales are way down (Edge sold out so people are buying the Explorer instead?).
