Ford still sold over 91,000 vehicles last year, a drop of 4.5% compared to 2010 but
even though the first half was slow, they managed costs well with 3-day weeks and
then when Territory hit, that seemed to carry Ford thanks to those 80% diesel sales.
And they did manage to sell everyone of those XR6s, so that stockpile of cars is no more...
2012 will be much better with a Fresh falcon and Territory along with interest in Fusion,
a full line of Ranger wouldn't hurt and the little Figo will also be on sale this year.
I wouldn't be too morose until we see the numbers, it's funny that Ford seems to be
running its business with low numbers in mind, so I think they are controlling it.
