Ford Fusion demand outstrips supply

Dealers have one major complaint about the 2006 Ford Fusion: They can’t get enough of them, reports AutoWeek. “I am not getting enough of them right now, but as a dealer that’s not bad,” said Jerry Reynolds. of Prestige Ford in Garland, Texas, in an e-mail. “They are bringing a premium, and we have a waiting list for incoming vehicles.”The new mid-sized sedan has posted stronger-than-targeted sales since it arrived in dealerships in late September, Ford says. But shipments to dealers still are below expectations because of supply disruptions at Ford’s Hermosillo, Mexico, plant. Ford so far has produced just more than 52,000 Fusions, Milans and Zephyrs, Ford spokesman Paul Wood said. About 50,000 have been released, he said. Ford has sold 15,481 through November. Ford is still short of its target to have produced around 55,000 vehicles by now. But the company is closing the gap, officials said.

Good for Ford. They put out a quality product, and the market rewards them with increased sales. Not a complcated equation. Too bad GM still has not figured this out.
