Ford Gains Retail Share as Fusion Sets Sales Record
- Ford gains retail share - for the sixth time in last seven months
- Ford Fusion sets monthly sales record and grows strength in mid-size car segment
- Ford hybrids combine to eclipse year-ago sales; Kelley Blue Book names Fusion Hybrid and Escape Hybrid to Top 10 Green Cars list
- Ford, Lincoln and Mercury sales totaled 129,898
DEARBORN, Mich., May 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- New, fuel-efficient products and quality on par with the best in the industry helped Ford increase retail market share in April - the sixth time in the last seven months that Ford's share of the retail market was higher than a year ago.
In April, the Ford Fusion paced the share performance. Fusion sales totaled 18,321, a record for any month. April was the first full month of sales for the redesigned 2010 model and the new Fusion Hybrid version, and April is believed to be the first month that Fusion was among the top three-selling mid-size sedans. Recent independent studies rate Fusion and the Mercury Milan - the most fuel-efficient mid-size sedans in America - as having the best predicted reliability among all mid-size sedans.
"We continue to operate in a very challenging economic and competitive environment," said Ken Czubay, Ford vice president, Sales and Marketing. "Especially given this external environment, we're very encouraged by the consumer response to our new mid-size sedans."
"Sales of the 2010 Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, Lincoln MKZ and hybrid versions exceeded our plan and customers also are equipping our new products with levels of content and features that are higher than we expected," he added. "This suggests consumers view our high-quality, fuel-efficient new products as offering outstanding value."
The new Fusion Hybrid is one of four hybrid models offered by Ford. Hybrid models also are offered in the Mercury Milan mid-size sedan and the Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner small utility vehicles. All Ford hybrid models are the most fuel-efficient vehicles in their class, and the Ford Escape and Ford Fusion recently were named to Kelley Blue Book's list of Top 10 Green Cars. In April, combined sales of all hybrid models totaled 2,299, up 21 percent versus a year ago.
Other new Ford products contributed to the retail share performance, including the new F-150 pickup, America's best-selling vehicle, and Ford Flex, the distinctively styled crossover utility that had its best sales month ever (3,190).
Growing awareness and consideration of Ford and its high-quality, fuel-efficient products are starting to take hold. Plus, through June 1, Ford is offering consumers additional reasons to "Drive one."
The Ford Advantage Plan offers payment protection up to 12 months for up to $700 per month on any new Ford, Lincoln or Mercury vehicle if a customer loses his or her job. Plus, 0 percent financing from Ford Motor Credit is available on select vehicles.
On Tuesday, April 28, Ford launched a community engagement phase of the Ford Advantage Plan. Through June 1, Ford will donate $20 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure for every test drive taken at a participating Ford, Lincoln and Mercury dealership to Komen - up to $1 million. That amount could grow even higher as more than a thousand dealers around the country are joining in to match the company's donation. During the past 15 years, Ford has contributed more than $100 million to the fight against breast cancer.
Ford, Lincoln and Mercury sales totaled 129,898, down 31 percent compared with April 2008. Retail sales were down 32 percent compared with a year ago and fleet sales were down 30 percent.
Note: The sales data included in this release and the accompanying tables are based largely on data reported by dealers representing their sales to retail and fleet customers.

Porsche Reports U.S. Sales for April 2009
ATLANTA--Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA), importer and distributor of Porsche sports cars and Cayenne SUVs in the United States, today announced April sales in the U.S. of 1,853 units compared to the same period last year when it sold 2,863.
While the dramatic downturn in the car market continues to impact the entire industry including luxury brands, Porsche’s April results do represent the German car company’s best performance so far in 2009. "It has been heartening to see a continued upward trend over the first four months of this year," said Detlev von Platen, President and CEO of PCNA. "We think that with the economic pressure easing up a bit and consumer confidence coming back the growth in traffic at our dealerships will translate into further sales growth."
So far in 2009, Porsche’s year-to-date U.S. sales are 6,778 versus 9,640 in 2008, a decline of 30 percent.
For the month of April, Porsche’s Approved Certified Pre-Owned vehicle sales were 615, compared to 691 for the same period last year.

BMW Group U.S. Division Reports April 2009 Sales
Despite sales decline of 38.4 percent in April (BMW and MINI combined), both BMW and MINI continue to track better than their market segments year-to-date.
WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., May 1 /PRNewswire/ -- The BMW Group in the U.S. (BMW and MINI combined) reported April sales of 19,362 vehicles, a decrease of 38.4 percent from the 31,448 vehicles sold in the same month of 2008. The BMW Group also reported a year-to-date sales volume of 70,606 vehicles, down 29.4 percent, compared to 99,977 vehicles sold in the same period a year ago. Despite the negative development in April, both BMW and MINI continue to track better than their market segments year-to-date.
BMW Brand Sales
Sales of BMW brand vehicles decreased 41.3 percent in April for a total of 15,705 vehicles compared to 26,735 vehicles reported in the same month a year ago. Year-to-date, BMW brand sales were down 31.3 percent, to 58,436 vehicles compared to 85,100 vehicles sold in the same period of 2008.
"Industry wide, April felt more like a dust bowl than a spring garden for new car sales but at least we are seeing improvements compared to the dark beginning of the year," said Jim O'Donnell, President of BMW of North America LLC. "For us, strong BMW Certified Pre-Owned business continues to bring new and younger customers into the family while we manage the new vehicle sales as well as we can until this garden begins to grow again - hopefully by the end of the year."
BMW Certified Pre-Owned (CPO)
Sales of BMW's Certified Pre-Owned vehicles are up 1.3 percent, to 9,354 CPO vehicles versus 9,237 vehicles reported last April 2008. Year-to-date, CPO sales are up 10.3 percent, to 38,000 over the 34,461 reported in the same period of 2008. For BMW, the healthy development of the used car business adds another source of revenue to dealer operations and helps offset the decline in new car sales.
MINI Brand Sales
MINI USA reported sales of 3,657 automobiles, down 22.4 percent from the 4,713 cars sold in April 2008. Year-to-date, MINI USA also reported sales of 12,170 automobiles, a decrease of 18.2 percent, compared to the 14,877 cars reported in April 2008.
"We've seen sales stabilizing month-to-month in our segment in April but this stability has come at the price of greater sales stimulation by everyone," said Jim McDowell, Vice President MINI USA. "MINI has largely managed to stay away from 'sweeteners to the deal' in the past. However, last month we introduced a modest incentive allowing us to track better than our segment year-to-date and continue to improve our sales month-to-month since January."

Year-to-date, CPO sales are up 10.3 percent, to 38,000 over the 34,461 reported in the same period of 2008. For BMW, the healthy development of the used car business adds another source of revenue to dealer operations and helps offset the decline in new car sales.
MINI Brand Sales
MINI USA reported sales of 3,657 automobiles, down 22.4 percent from the 4,713 cars sold in April 2008. Year-to-date, MINI USA also reported sales of 12,170 automobiles, a decrease of 18.2 percent, compared to the 14,877 cars reported in April 2008.
"We've seen sales stabilizing month-to-month in our segment in April but this stability has come at the price of greater sales stimulation by everyone," said Jim McDowell, Vice President MINI USA. "MINI has largely managed to stay away from 'sweeteners to the deal' in the past. However, last month we introduced a modest incentive allowing us to track better than our segment year-to-date and continue to improve our sales month-to-month since January."

The fight for number 1 luxury selling crown will be down to the last day of the last month for 2009. Don't count Lexus out just yet with the HS (predict to be a volumn model) coming this fall.

Lexus can't keep their market share up without more varieties of models, especially coupes. They might need a sub-RX SUV too.

Ford was expected to have a decline in the high 20% range so the 32% drop is worse than expected.
Lexus sold 765 LS and Lincoln sold 682 Town Cars.
I guess limos are just a good a market as high end luxo sedans. But the desirability of the existing S is now showing.

^^ S class (all Benzes) also have 1.9% financing as well as lease deals, lexus has not been nearly as aggresive. Still good move by Benz here, not sure why Lexus would not offer lower financing rates if they are not going to offer any aggresive lease deals.
Seems the $399 lease deal helped the TL as well as it hit 3k sales last month. The TSX has a $299 lease deal, no one is close to $299 a month except the G37 sedan at $359 a month.
Its early but the all new 7 series barely outsold the older LS. In coming months we will see what happens here.
With the Lexus HS coming, that will help sales during the fall.
The 3 series and RX outsold the entire Infiniti lineup.
