Ford Crossovers Continue to Shine in July; Overall Sales Decline


-- Ford Motor Company's all-new and redesigned crossovers were up 40
percent in July; year-to-date sales also up 40 percent.
-- Overall sales totaled 195,245, down 19 percent compared with a year ago;
daily rental sales were down 57 percent and sales to individual retail
customers were down 17 percent.
-- Lincoln registers tenth month in a row of higher retail sales.
-- All-new Ford Expedition gains for the eleventh month in a row; Lincoln
Navigator was up 8 percent.
-- Land Rover sales rose 19 percent, reflecting all-new LR2.


DEARBORN, Mich., Aug. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Demand continues to
grow for Ford Motor Company's (NYSE: F) all-new and redesigned crossover
vehicles, but overall sales declined sharply in July.
Total July sales were 195,245, down 19 percent compared with a year
ago. Sales to daily rental companies were down 57 percent and sales to
individual retail customers were down 17 percent. The company's crossover
utility vehicle sales were up 40 percent in July and year-to-date -- the
largest increase of any major manufacturer.

"We are encouraged by the progress we have made and consumers' response
to our new products," said Mark Fields, Ford's President of the Americas.
"At the same time, we know we have a lot of work to do, and July is a
sobering reminder of the economic and competitive challenges we face."
In July, Ford Edge sales were 9,096 and Lincoln MKX sales were 2,870.
Edge recently was recognized as the industry's top performing new vehicle
in J.D. Power and Associates' 2007 Automotive Performance, Execution and
Layout Study (APEAL).

Sales for the redesigned 2008 model Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner
crossovers were higher in July. Escape sales were 12,440, and Mariner sales
were 2,534, both up 2 percent compared with a year ago.

Sales for the new Ford Expedition (up 22 percent) and Lincoln Navigator
(up 8 percent) also were higher than a year ago. Expedition sales were up
for the eleventh consecutive month.

The Lincoln brand posted its tenth month in a row of higher retail
sales (although total sales were lower reflecting lower fleet sales). In
the first six months of 2007, Lincoln sales were 15 percent higher than the
same period a year ago -- the largest increase of any luxury brand.
Lincoln's rebound reflects the new Lincoln MKX crossover, the new Lincoln
MKZ sedan and the redesigned Navigator.
Land Rover dealers reported a 19 percent sales increase in July,
reflecting the addition of the all-new LR2 crossover.

Default Porsche Posts Best July Sales Ever

ATLANTA--Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA), importer and distributor of Porsche sports cars and Cayenne SUVs in the United States and Canada, today announced its third consecutive record month in the United States. In the U.S., Porsche achieved a slight increase of 1 percent in total July sales with 3,230 new cars sold vs. 3,202 units sold in July 2006.

Porsche's new generation Cayenne continued to perform well with sales of 1,149, up 24 percent over last July when sales were 924. Year-to-date sales for both the Cayenne and 911 were ahead by 7 percent over the same period last year. The Cayman also achieved impressive sales of 261, an increase of 35 percent over the previous July sales of 194.

July 31 marked the end of Porsche's fiscal year 06/07. Despite Porsche's change to its new generation Cayenne, PCNA closed the fiscal year respectably with total North American sales of 35,398 new cars, resulting in only a slight decrease of 3.5 percent over the previous fiscal year when sales were 36,669.

In addition, dealers sold 515 Porsche Approved Certified Pre-Owned cars in July vs. 503 for the same period last year.

Toyota Reports July Sales

TORRANCE, Calif., Aug. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Toyota Motor Sales (TMS),
U.S.A., Inc., today reported July sales of 224,058 vehicles, a decrease of
3.5 percent from July 2006.

"The industry stumbled this month, on continued housing weakness," said
Jim Lentz, TMS executive vice president. "Though Toyota didn't match last
July's record-setting sales, heightened demand for hybrids and crossovers
is reassuring, particularly with the next generation Highlander just now
hitting showrooms."

The Toyota Division posted July sales of 196,917, down 4.5 percent from
