U.S. automakers may be having trouble here in North America, but over in Britain sales are holding strong. Ford announced today it had once again proved to be Britain’s most popular automotive brand by closing out 2006 over 66,000 sales ahead of its nearest competitor. Ford cars have been the favourite choice for buyers in Britain for 29 successive years. “The ongoing success of the Ford Focus as the UK’s top selling car is especially pleasing,” said Paul Thomas, Ford of Britain managing director. “It is an accolade the model has held every year since the original Ford Focus went on sale in 1998.” More than 145,000 Ford Focus cars were registered last year – 4,000 units up on 2004 thanks to soaring sales of the latest model. Three Ford cars in top 10 – Focus (1st), Fiesta (5th) and Mondeo (8th). The Leftlane Perspective: Perhaps if Ford would bring the European Focus to North America, it would experience similar sales here.
