rmc523 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Ford reformatted their sales charts, adding a "powertrain type" section at top and eliminated segment totals (SUVs, trucks, cars). I'm going to update my green/red color charts, which do have the segment totals still and post them later. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMoon Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Did Ford really produce zero Mustang Mach-Es in January, or is it just delayed reporting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny they left the underlines in place where the sub totals used to be. Must have been a last minute change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 While I’m critical of Ford for perceived missteps, their results last year and last month are far from disastrous and actually shows a desire to mitigate losses where possible. Strong F Series sales is the foundation that Ford needs to build the rest of its range. There’s still a ton of sales to come this year from C2 product. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was probably a case where someone higher up had the idea to add the "powertrain" breakout, and they had to make space somewhere to fit it on a page, so they deleted the section totals. Hey, it makes my charts more relevant/informative than just colors.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what message they intend sending when 90% of sales are still ICE vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I know they're trying to promote the growth of BEV sales, but seeing the massive disparity between BEV and ICE looks sad right now.

It does and perhaps that’s the journey Ford wants people to follow instead of constantly mentioning low car sales. It does muck up your graphs and trending I do wish Ford would sell new larger Mondeo stateside as Taurus Edited February 7, 2023 by jpd80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't bother including the powertrain breakdown in January, but I could if anyone is interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well: 1) It'd be a pain to delete rows and make sure all the formulas line up correctly still, so it partially me being lazy, and 2) I do believe we'll see the return of 1 sedan-like model eventually......I'd have brought over Evos and badged it Fusion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
