March sales of the company’s flagship F-Series were 58,061 are up 9%, its best March sales performance since 2007. Sales of the fuel economy EconoBoost engine version of the F-Series rose
Ford cars sales were up 8% – Focus was the biggest seller among Ford’s car lineup, with sales up 78 %.
Sales of the Lincoln brand continued to be extremely low–20,836, up 4.1%. The brand continues to run well behind market leaders Mercedes, BMW, and even GM’s (NYSE: GM) Cadillac
Sales of the Fiesta also dropped sharply–down 24% to 15,522.
The takeaway from the data is that Ford barely has a luxury brand
