Although Ford posted declining sales of over 8 percent for the month of June, the auto maker has a positive outlook on the numbers.
Ford believes the decline is a result from Ford's planned reduction in fleet sales to car rental companies. Some of Ford's new and redesigned vehicles recorded strong sales in June: the Edge crossover posted record sales of 12,470, the redesigned Escape was up 33 percent compared with June of '06, and the Mercury Mariner, up 97 percent, set June sales records.
In its second month on the market, the redesigned Taurus sold 5,836 units. And despite higher fuel prices, the Expedition also posted an increase with 8,972 units sold, up 30.9 percent over last June. The Ford Focus gained 20 percent compared with June 2006.
The Mustang, however, was out to pasture. With sales of 12,781, it was down 15.7 percent from a year ago.
