no offense to you, thanks for the post, but the bigger news is Ford's 46% drop in sales from 2005 to 2006. a boring coupe ain't gonna help THAT situation!
46%? Where in the world did you get that?
Try less than 10% YTD. I think you might be quoting the sales decline of the F-Series, which is down 46% compared to July of '05 but only down 12% YTD.
you are correct. i mis-quoted. still, the news ain't good. it's hard to paint a pretty picture when the paint brush is covered in poo.

Ford's U.S. sales of cars and light trucks totaled 241,339 vehicles last month, compared with 366,548 a year ago. It marked the sixth straight monthly decline for the No. 2 U.S. auto maker.
that's a 51% decline for our math whiz's.

Ford, which posted a $123 million loss in the second quarter, is restructuring its North American operations as part of a plan to stem the loss of market share and restore profitability.
Quote:
The auto maker said its July retail sales climbed 7% compared to June, representing the second best retail month for the auto maker this year. The auto maker is looking to lessen its reliance on unprofitable sales to so-called fleet customers.
So, this month is better than last month, but this year still sucks in comparison to last year. And wait for future annual comparative results where Ford will suck further still.
