Great monthly sales increase from a year ago and great graph's as usual enator. We are in a tight battle with the mustang which good to see especially as it pertains to american manufacturing base and the jobs they provide for our brothers and sisters building are favorite (Camaro) cars.

I know for a fact that ford is selling a lot of mustangs to rental car companies.
Friend of mine was supposed to get a lesser car last week at the myrtle beach airport and they threw her the keys to a grabber blue mustang with 70 miles on it. One of 7 they had.

RLHMARINES · 04-03-2012, 09:55 AM

Same here at our local airport, over a dozen mustangs on most rental lots and just a couple of Camaros in total now even at avis.

FenwickHockey65 · 04-03-2012, 09:55 AM

Ford is indeed dumping a ton of units into fleet. So much so that they had to issue a press release last week defending that decision.

Fleet sales are only good to an extent...

BowtieBelle · 04-03-2012, 09:59 AM

LOL... Mustang got their one month of win last month, just to keep them happy... now we are back on top! :party0048:

Err, more like press statement I guess.

Inferno2SS · 04-03-2012, 10:29 AM

All that advertising Ford has been doing seems to be paying. Every time you turn around there is another Mustang commercial on TV.

Nameless · 04-03-2012, 10:34 AM

Glad my purchase can account for 1 in March!

Ehhe what I forgot one month

v6sonoma · 04-03-2012, 10:46 AM

Imagine if the ZL1's got delivered how much higher it would be.

yeah i saw one on ABC in prime time last night. i'd like to see how much Ford has paid in advertising the mustang in the past 20 years compared to the Camaro in the same years.

That wouldn't even be close to being fair, the Camaro was gone from model year 2003 to model year 2009....

Ford has been doing a good amount of fleet dumping as of late, good for sales press release data though bad for long term resale value and slightly less bad for profits.

Monte · 04-03-2012, 11:29 AM

Nice to see the Challenger doing so well finally!

*radz28* · 04-03-2012, 12:10 PM

Good competition and thanks for the stats'!!!

proxemics · 04-03-2012, 12:52 PM

That's why i said 'in the same years".
so take away 2003-2008.

I don't think a Canadian built car qualifies as "American Manufactured". On the other hand, hats off to Ford. The fifth-generation Mustang is manufactured at the AutoAlliance International plant in Flat Rock, Michigan.

That was the first thing I noticed, Chally crossing the 4K mark for the first time. With both Camaro and Mustang delivering over 9K, I guess now is the time to buy a muscle car.

b4z · 04-03-2012, 03:15 PM

I saw the 60 minutes episode of Chrysler/Fiat's head Sergio Marchionne and he is as impressive CEO as I have seen. He even acknowledged FIAt's well know reliability problems.
I don't think GM has ever had a can do guy like that. Certain division's have, but not GM as a whole.
And I am glad that the Chally is doing well. Not a fan of the styling but am happy it is even in production. Makes everybody else try harder.
