PREMiERdrum Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 November brought growth throughout Ford's product portfolio in the U.S., with car sales up 15 percent, utilities up 2 percent and trucks up 4 percent. "November represented a strong month for the industry, and Ford sales performed well across the board," said Ken Czubay, Ford vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service. "We saw sharp increases in demand for Ford's fuel-efficient small cars, our best-ever month for electrified vehicles and growing demand for our fuel-efficient and capable F-Series pickups." Ford had its best small car November sales month since 2000, with Focus, the all-new C-MAX Hybrids and Fiesta sales totaling 26,848 vehicles – a 76 percent increase over last year. Focus sales were up 56 percent versus year-ago levels, while the all-new C-MAX Hybrid lineup gained 52 percent versus October, when the C-MAX Energi went on sale. The Ford F-Series, America's best-selling vehicle, posted an 18 percent increase, with 56,299 vehicles sold in November. This represents F-Series' best November since 2005 and 16 straight months of year-over-year sales increases. Ford's total November sales of 177,673 vehicles increased 6 percent versus last year, with retail sales up 12 percent. Ford also announced its 2013 first-quarter North American production plan. The company plans to build 750,000 vehicles in the first quarter, up 11 percent (73,000 vehicles) from 2012's first quarter. Fourth quarter production of 725,000 vehicles is unchanged from previous guidance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Interesting to note that the MKT sales have risen 44% in the past year...but then again its a difference of 4400 vs 6400 cars sold in a year. Suprised to see that the Flex sales dropped this month, but YTY are up about 2% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickF1011 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Anybody know why Escape sales were down? Otherwise, looked like a good month. Could be a dealer shortage, but they really weren't down much. Looks to be within typical monthly variances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extreme4x4 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Ford was less than 9000 sales less than GM. Wow F-series slaughtered GMT900's last month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aneekr Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 F-series slaughtered GMT900's last month. F-Series sales numbers in Nov. 2012 slaughtered those for just about everything - all Ford passenger cars combined, all Honda passenger cars combined (domestic), the entire Volkswagen brand, the entire Hyundai brand, the entire Kia brand, and every colly bird, french hen, and partridge in a pear tree.

aneekr Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Wonder whats up with Camaro sales...for crying out loud the Sonic outsold it! LOL Sales incentives for Camaro were not as generous as its competitors last month. In the Indianapolis area, base rebate offers for the trifecta of pony cars were: $500 for 2013 Camaro, $1,000 for 2013 Challenger, and $1,500 for 2013 Mustang.

timmm55 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Interesting that all current Lincolns are up over last year. Barely! Still as a group Lincoln is down by volume, MKZ is down quite a bit for the month (not unexpected considering the 2013 hoopla). Hard to imagine the MKT is the bright spot!???

RichardJensen Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 And what happens if you take the Town Car out of the comparison? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmm55 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) And what happens if you take the Town Car out of the comparison? It's pretty much out of the picture already with only 12 sold, as a BRAND Lincoln is down 9.1. 12 units has little to no effect on total sales. It's the MKZ sales in January/February that will tell the real story. It will be UP for sure! Edited December 3, 2012 by timmm55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edstock Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Up 6.4%, and without acres of unsold product. How unlike the bad old days, when rubber-mat minimum-spec orphans abounded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BORG Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) The 2013 MKZ's price is up, while the old MKZ was a notorious incentive queen, they really were giving those cars away like the good old days. You won't see that happening with the new car so every sale should be more profitable, but I don't think you're going to see major volume there. The car that will change the status-quo at Lincoln is the Escape which will contribute allot of volume to the brand. Hopefully we'll see that before 2013 ends. Lincoln will see a natural sales increase as it finally fills out it's entry-level portfolio and de-emphasizes its traditional roll as a high-end luxury car and moves into mid-level luxury like Buick, GMC, and Chrysler. At some point Lincoln will probably move to take on Lexus, Caddy, Audi, etc..., but for now they have to be very good at being very middle.
