Ford Posts First Sales Gain of the Year

The July sales numbers are in, and the Ford Motor Company is looking pretty good.

Taken together, sales for the Ford, Lincoln and Mercury brands were up 9% over the same month last year. It' also posted the first year-over-year sales gain since November of 2007.

Highlights of the numbers include:

Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan sales up 66% and 60% respectively.

Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner sales up 94% and 71% respectively. 

Ford Focus sales up 44%.

Strangely, Ford Ranger sales were also up 65% in July, so Ford's claim of having the "freshest lineup in the business" is always the reason for its big numbers.
