U.S. automakers performed remarkably well in May, with Chrysler reporting an 11 percent increase in sales.

“We’re working tirelessly to get as many hybrids to the market as we can right now to meet this unprecedented customer demand for our electrified vehicles,” said Erich Merkle, Ford U.S. sales analyst. “The success we are experiencing with hybrids is energizing the whole company.”

ReplyDeleteThere is a reason everyone drives honda civics. The fusion will be the new civic.
Hats off to Ford and the American auto industry in general. Pretty incredible progress compared to where we were a few short years ago.
