Ford May Sales Thoughts

Ford released its sales figures for May today (here).  I took a quick look, and two things really jumped out at me.
First, the redesigned Explorer is doing well, much better than the old truck-based model.  The new Explorer is running around 160,000 units annually, while the old Explorer was around 50,000.
Second, Lincoln is in BIG trouble.  In a rising tide of sales, Lincoln is down 2%, mostly due to the aging of the MKZ.  May saw only 7,274 Lincolns sold.  I suppose a new MKZ will help that, but still, Mustang outsold the entire Lincoln brand in May!
Ford needs to fix Lincoln, quick, or its dealers will starve to death.

  1. I have witnessed that rates for internet degree professionals tend to be an awesome value. For example a full 4-year college Degree in Communication from The University of Phoenix Online consists of Sixty credits at $515/credit or $30,900. Also American Intercontinental University Online comes with a Bachelors of Business Administration with a full education course feature of 180 units and a tuition fee of $30,560. Online learning has made taking your college degree so much easier because you could earn your own degree through the comfort of your house and when you finish from office. Thanks for all the tips I've learned through your website. Click here to know more about Sales Training Courses
