well in january ford sold 154,204 cars. makes me realise what a money machine they're haha, I mean that is a lot of cars hey? . That number is the total number of cars they sold by the way, not just big ones. as well, they have fallen to 4'th place in sales behind general motors. there's a lot more information on this link: detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070201/UPDATE/702010458detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070201/UPDATE/702010458">detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/art.

Don't know. I have been reading their sales information carefully for about a year, and there is no end to the spiral in sight. Financially, it is clear to everybody that they are in a death spiral at a time that the economy is booming. They can only be saved by selling cars. they will have to hit on some fabulous merchandise that everybody wants, but they already have some number of class leaders now. I think there is little chance they will be able to recover.
If you want to look at what their sales are, they report that quickly every month. you may be able to find that in their investor info on their website. what is more interesting, although, is to look at that against a backdrop of their sales over the last ten years or so. they have lost about a 3rd of their business, just a bit more yearly. As it starts looking more like a death spiral, more people will stay away, so it does not ever level off.
