In a statement today, Ford was, nonetheless, upbeat. “We had a solid retail month in July,” said Al Giombetti, president, Ford and Lincoln Mercury sales and marketing. “We are particularly encouraged by the response to our new cars, which offer distinctive styling and outstanding fuel economy. They are definitely the right products at the right time.” Retail sales for the Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, and Lincoln Zephyr were up 18 percent over last month.
