F250 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 note to f250....2009 supply of TC's was/ IS limited and we have only 2 left, less availability equates to less numbers.... Hell, maybe you could DX some from Va because they sure are collecting dust around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itguy09 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Infinitis are like BMWs that cost less to buy and maintain. A co-worker of mine has a G37 sedan, it is a really nice car. Yeah, I loved mine - probably would still have it if it were automatic instead of stick. Got tired of rowing my own after 5.9 years. Other than that, it was rock solid for the 91k I had it. Before I got it I did look at the 3 series BMW. WAY TOO EXPENSIVE for what you got (not a lot). The only negative about the G35 was the insurance was only $11/mo cheaper than the new car.

RichardJensen Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Kind of hard to post sales stats for a vehicle not curently in production (Bronco) but with only 1,165 sales nationwide in November the TC isn't hard to beat. :hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical: Selling all they got in stock.

twintornados Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 If I remember correctly, didn't Ford state that for the first year, they were only going to import something like 15,000 of the Transit Connects to gauge how well it would be received? In my part of the country, I am starting to see them running all over the place as service vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Wish they could do that with Turkey TCs. I know where you can get 9 TCs...any color you want as long as it's white or red. I've seen quite a few in a dealer lot that my friend got her Escape from, but I've also been seeing more and more of them around on the roads....more so then I see new Tauri, but I don't seem many Tauruses in dealer lots...so dealer lots are irrelevant for total sales around the country.

In my part of the country, I am starting to see them running all over the place as service vehicles. This Christmas my family went to New Orleans for the vacation. I did not see too much Ford new car, but I did see several Transit Connects, Edge and Flex. The Transit Connects were LA licence tag and Edge and Flex were all Florida or Tennessee tag. We drove all the wary from Memphis to New orleans, Pansacola, Destine, passing Tenessee, Mississipi, Alabama, Louisana and Florida. It was sad that we did not see too much Ford cars in that region. There were many F-150 on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford cars were up 42 percent, crossovers were up 51 percent, sport utilities were up 33 percent, and trucks and vans were up 18 percent. Among brands, Ford sales were up 37 percent, Lincoln sales were up 16 percent and Mercury sales were up 6 percent. “Ford’s plan is working,” said Ken Czubay, Ford vice president, U.S. Marketing Sales and Service. “Customer consideration continues to grow for our high-quality, fuel-efficient vehicles. In 2010, we will introduce an even higher number of new products, giving customers more reasons to Drive One.” Every consumer metric about the Ford brand – including favorable opinion, consideration, shopping and intention to buy – ended the year at record levels. In fact, favorable opinion is up more than 20 percent from the beginning of the year, and intention to buy Ford increased more than 30 percent. “People increasingly are discovering that the Ford difference is the strength of our products, particularly our leadership in quality, fuel efficiency, safety, smart technologies and value,” said Czubay. Ford, Lincoln and Mercury December sales totaled 179,017, up 33 percent versus a year ago. Full-year sales totaled 1.62 million, down 15 percent. Ford estimates its full-year 2009 U.S. total market share was about 15 percent – about 1 percentage point higher than in 2008. This marks the company’s first full-year U.S. market share increase since 1995. Ford also has improved its retail market share 14 times in the last 15 months. Sales Highlights •Ford Fusion, recently named Motor Trend’s Car of the Year, posted a December sales increase of 83 percent and set new December (18,852) and full-year (180,671) sales records. Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan are the most fuel-efficient mid-size sedans in America. •Ford Taurus sales totaled 7,256 for the month, up 110 percent versus a year ago. Since the introduction of the all-new model in August, Taurus sales are nearly 90 percent higher than a year ago. •Ford Mustang sales were up 62 percent in December, and Ford Focus sales increased 22 percent. Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ were each up 5 percent. •Crossover utilities also posted strong sales increases. In 2009, the Ford brand was the top-selling brand of crossovers in the U.S., led by the Ford Escape. Escape set a December sales record (19,156), up 75 percent versus a year ago. For the full year, Escape sales totaled 173,044, the second-best sales year ever. Ford Edge sales were up 59 percent, and Ford Flex sales were up 73 percent. The all-new Lincoln MKT posted its highest sales to date (858). •Ford’s F-Series truck had its best sales month since March 2008. F-Series sales in December were 48,209 (up 16 percent), bringing the full-year total to 413,625. F-Series has been America’s best-selling truck for 33 years in a row and America’s best-selling vehicle, car or truck, for 28 years in a row. In 2009, F-Series increased its leadership position among full-size pickups with a 4 percentage-point gain in segment share. •Transit Connect, Ford’s new versatile, fuel-efficient small commercial van, had its best sales month (1,992) since August. •Ford’s new EcoBoost engine technology and hybrid vehicles are winning customers, too. December was the best sales month for EcoBoost (1,662), and total EcoBoost sales since introduction now total 4,973. The conquest rate for the Taurus SHO is 60 percent. EcoBoost provides customers up to 20 percent improvement in fuel economy and a 15 percent reduction in emissions versus larger-displacement engines. EcoBoost is standard on the Taurus SHO and available on the Ford Flex, Lincoln MKS and Lincoln MKT. •December sales of hybrid vehicles totaled 2,843, up 147 percent versus a year ago. Ford hybrid models include the Ford Fusion, Ford Escape, Mercury Milan and Mercury Mariner. For the full year, Ford hybrid sales totaled 33,502, a new record and up 72 percent versus a year ago.

Mark B. Morrow Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 WOW! I thought the 25% number might have been wishful thinking. 33% is just incredible. A job well done by Mulally, Fields, Farley and everyone at Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xr7g428 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Let's all hope Ford gets well real soon. There are plenty of irons in the fire. Maybe a bird of prey with a bad to the bone Coyote in it's maw looking for some Schnitzle. Blue, I hope this one gets a shot at production. Maybe a Cat for Mercury as well? I would love to have a rear wheel drive V8 personal luxury car. Mercury captured this perfectly with the Cougar in the 60's. It played the sophisticated twin to the Mustang. I have been buying BMW's since the early 80's but I would be happy to consider a domestic if it had the right stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mettech Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 All of those vehicles are linked to a parent company that builds basic transportation vehicles, BMW is not=status. Lincoln is not going to be taken seriously until it builds vehicles like BMW. That means no platform sharing with Ford. It means rear wheel drive sedans. Anything else and the first thing the testers will talk about is whatever Ford platform the Lincoln is using and how it's better but not a BMW competitor. 100% agree.
