Fusion leads the way for Ford 

Fusion leads the way for Ford

I always thought that the Ford Fusion was a handsome and quite promising car when Ford first launched it. That's why I was quite pleased to find out that it - along with the Mercury Milan and the Lincoln Zephyr – is leading the way for Ford’s car division by posting sales numbers in January that were a combined 25 percent better than in December.



At this rate, all three cars can achieve 220,000 sales in 2006, which is well above Ford’s estimates. In total the trio accounted for 14,714 units of Ford’s total car sales of 82,710, which is up a full 18 percent over last year.

Despite being dragged down by low SUV sales, Ford’s F-150 also registered increased sales over the same month last year by 7 percent. Overall the Ford brand sold 3.5 percent more vehicles than it did in January of 2005.

If Ford really would invest serious money on making models like the Fusion even better than its competitors I’m willing to bet that it could save them from getting kicked off the top spot. Right now those numbers look like good news - I just hope that Ford kicks things up a notch or two higher and give us more, more, more.

It’s a good thing that you could always do something if you find your car getting a bit too bland for your taste. Adding new projector headlight, grilles, hubcaps or spoilers isn’t a far-off option now what with online auto parts stores like Auto Parts Corner at hand for the best selection of auto parts you can choose from.
