As we enter the fourth quarter of 2013, it is helpful to take a look back on how the industry developed during 2013. I’ve attached a document for review that gives a picture of what took place nationally in the auto industry.
Some highlights of note:
- Ford Sales were up 12.3% compared to August of 2012
- While Ford Sales are up for the year, Market Share is down from 14.4% to 13.9%. Imports are gaining ground and all major domestics have given ground
- CUV segment continues to grow with consumers stating that this is the most likely vehicle they will purchase next
- Ford maintains 3 vehicles on the best seller list (Top 15 Vehicles Sold in U.S.)
- Used vehicle market is up 5.6% versus vs. August of 2012
