Ford Motor Company joined Chrysler in reporting excellent us sales for the month of May, as the blue oval brand saw sales of its cars and light trucks up 14% compared to the same month a year ago.
“Our fuel-efficient Fusion and Escape have set monthly sales records for four straight months,” said Ken Czubay, Ford vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service. “F-Series sales – fueled by construction growth and pent-up demand – reached their highest level in more than six years.”

The Fusion sedan recorded its best-ever May sales of almost 30,000 units, as demand was up 10 percent over May 2012. The Escape compact SUV also posted its best-ever sales month since being introduced 13 years ago – a 26 percent increase with 29,123.

Of course, good Ford sales announcements never come without the help of the truck segment. The F-Series had its strongest May sales result since 2005. F-Series’ 71,604 sales in May represented a 31 percent increase versus last year and its 22nd straight monthly sales increase.

Put simply, Ford sold more trucks than it did its two best-selling car models combined. Stick that in your exhaust pipe and smoke it 2014 Silverado!

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
