fuzzymoomoo Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 With exception of MKZ, presumably due to the 2017 changeover, every Lincoln model experienced growth. Even the dead in the water MKS. But Lincoln needs a total lineup reset now.... Sheesh.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grbeck Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 The new MKX looks very sharp. More of them are popping up around here. The MKC looks nice from a distance, but Lincoln has to kick the fit-and-finish up a notch at the prices it wants people to pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpd80 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) It's amazing that, Despite a 11.5% drop in cars, Ford brand saw a 3.3% rise in sales because of increases in Utilities (4.4%) and Trucks (3.3%) Despite a 21.7% drop in cars, Lincoln saw a 20.2% rise in sales because of a 52%increases in Utilities. And guys, We're allowed to post full sales releases - they are not a breach of copyright. Edited May 6, 2016 by jpd80 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Just noticed that Taurus sales are up 26% YTD vs last year...wonder what is going on with that...its the only car outside of the C-Max to see a YTY increase in sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzcat Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) 12.4% of Explorer sales have been PIU year to date. I guess the police version profit margin must be as good or better than retail... that's a lot of volume being taken out of retail inventory but Ford doesn't seem to mind. And E-series sales year to date are the same as previous year (18k) which is remarkable because Ford is only selling E-350 and E-450 cutaway and stripped chassis now vs. last year when the E-150/250/350 vans were still available. So looks like Ford is on track to sell about 60~70k E-series cutaway/stripped chassis - more than enough to justify investment in a new stand alone model in my opinion.
