    Escalade has had such a built in customer base that you're not going to eat into that anytime soon.  It's going to take years of consistent Navigator updates to chip into that lead Escalade has since Navigator was neglected for a decade

     

     

    I know.  I understand the thought of it.  Just seems odd.

     

    Did they combine (rental) Taurus and Fusion because it was the replacement in the same segment?  I guess it really doesn't matter - like I said, it's just the OCD kicking in, and would've made it easier to analyze how quickly/when MKC truly phases out and how Corsair jumps and maintains.  Because technically they'll have to wait a full year from the last MKC sale to remove it from the sales charts.

    With the amount of money spent and lost investing in Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo, it would give Ford to invest and make LINCOLN a brand as competitive as Lexus since the 90 years.

  2. Ford Motor Company of Germany achieved a new record August sales mark with 22,713 vehicles delivered last month, per the German Federal Motor Transport Authority. This was up 27.5 percent year-over-year from August 2018 and good for Ford’s best passenger vehicle sales tally for August since 1996. In contrast, the German new car market fell 0.8 percent for the month.

    “The best car sales in an August in 23 years, Ford’s highest value ever for commercial vehicles — that’s fantastic news for us. We are particularly proud that we are achieving this historic growth in Germany in a very tense environment,” said Hans Jörg Klein, managing director of Marketing and Sales, Ford of Germany.

    Ford scored a 7.2 percent passenger car market share in August, up 1.6 percentage points from 2018. Passenger and commercial vehicle sales totaled 28,247 units combined, also setting an August sales record.

    Through eight months, Ford has delivered 192,471 vehicles in Germany, up 10.4 percent from its pace through the first two thirds of 2018. This too significantly outpaces growth for the German new car market, which is up just 0.9 percent through the first eight months of 2019. Ford’s commercial vehicle sales total 37,173 through eight months, up 15.9 percent year-over-year.

    Leading the way over this span for Ford is the Mustang, which maintains its standing with performance enthusiasts and saw sales rise 66.2 percent through August. Also up for Ford are the Tourneo Connect and Ford S-Max, which have seen sales increase 63.2 percent and 58.9 percent, respectively.

    Transit, Nautilus and Expedition have impressive figures.  Expedition's design is the best in the entire Ford portfolio and should inspire other crossovers.  Awaiting the Aviator take flight and show its potential.  Nautilus is still restyled, when it comes with the interior as the Aviator could reach 4K.  Corsair should also properly replace the MKC

    Maverick outside of North America.  Last year I read from a Spanish news outlet that Ford was calling a new engine Maverick that would be built in Spain. Not sure what happened to this engine, I have not read anymore about it.

    I don't like Maverick for Baby Bronco's name. It's like naming a MPV, because Fusion was a MPV in the 00s in Europe. Maverick has a legacy as a coupé.
