The first number are in, and Ford has posted a 3% increase over last year’s miserable October results. Year to date, Ford is still down 21%. But the good news is that Ford has posted increases in three of the last four months. Taurus more than doubled and deliveries to retail customers almost tripled from year-earlier levels. Fusion was up 24 percent, and the Lincoln MKZ sedan increased 27 percent. More details later…

Ruckover/Juniper I don't make the rules, but it is what it is. Total volume for the calendar month was higher, I did the research, and saw the raw numbers too...but there was also one more selling day, so sales did not improve by 3%...the selling month just happened to have a extra day. I'm not particularly stressed about it, but it is of some interest. Just as fyi, Toyota and Honda always reported their monthly numbers on a days-adjusted basis...Detroit auto does not. http://www.cnbc.com/id/33603990
This was YoY, not month over month. Last year’s October sales were depression-like. These are terrible numbers. 3% gain from '09's October crater is weak.
I like the Ford Taurus and I fell off the wagon years ago.
