This all great news for Ford. They even gained market share for the 21st month in 22 months. This is the part I like:


Retail sales for the Mustang were 43 percent higher than a year ago. Since the arrival of the 2011
model featuring new V-6 and V-8 engines with more horsepower and improved fuel economy,
Mustang’s share has climbed to levels not seen since January 2009.

That is because nobody really wanted to see the 2010 Mustang with the same engines and powertrains and it goes to show you, people didn't really warm up to the new Mustang very fast. That is not until they updated the engines and powertrains. The people really liked the first version of the S197 platform.

yep. I agree.

And the BOSS/SE should help keep interest up.

Even though they said the Super Duty helped with the sales of the F-Series trucks, I wonder how many Raptors were sold in that mix. :yellowcard3:

...maybe we'll know in a few days. Ford usually releases quarterly/half-year detail by model ...maybe by early next week sometime?

Since I will be on vacation, keep me informed. I am always interested in what is selling. I know SVT will be getting certificates for the Raptors and I will be getting one.

Good news for us Ford fans.
