Hey Fmr12b,

I was wondering about this:

I read yesterday the YR to YR Mustang sales were only up 19% for the month of Nov. I expected a much larger gain as the '05 was was released last month.



So, I kept digging around here, and I found out, that it is actually only up 12% overall for the month of Nov. BUT, here's the kicker, retail sales to individuals is up by over 50% for Mustangs in Nov. It seems that last year around this time, rental fleets purchased a rather large number of base Mustangs . . . sort of cooks the numbers a bit.



I work in finance/audit as a consultant to the tech companies out here and totally understand the numbers are always gonna be estimates that generally make the companies look beeter, espeically at the end of a products life.

Is Ford keeping the '05 Stangs out of Hertz's hands? I'm assuming they are shipping to them as we speak!
