falcon is down on last month but nowhere near as much as commodore!!

[Cuey]

Territory...ouch!

[GORDZ]

mmm territory taking a real hit... time for a new model

thx for the figures, glad to see FMCoA are up in sales, albeit small.

do you have holden as well to compare?

edit: beat me to it

[4Vman]

15% swing in position from Holden to Ford, Falcon and Focus leading the way,well done.
The Terri needs an update badly though...

[Swordsman88]

Not bad result i suppose, given the current climate. Ford may be only a little up but holden keeps on dropping....over 10% down each month is not good.

Territory is doing ok for the very old, and pretty fuel hungry reputation its got. The captiva (even with a 'efficient' diesel) couln't beat it so it all ain't bad.

What is up with mondeo, its at 300, then up to 500, down to 300 again? Is it a supply issue or is the medium segment down again???

[burnz]

where's the holden sport's wagon??

[GORDZ]

yeah i'd reckon... can't get enough of them though... love the exterior

[Stealth00]

Disappointed with the Mondeo sales, that car deserves to do better.

However Focus sales look good.

Ford should be reasonably happy with that result given the climate.

Mondeo is on the up, and outsold Epica this month (did not last month)

Mondeo wagon should be here already, lot of Territories traded in to VW dealers for Passat Wagons, when the Mondy would have been a far better option, or at least a less boring one.

Correct, If Ford had a Diesel mondeo wagon, they would have a 'green' family sized wagon, and would be taking a lot of orders from fleets(if they have an entry level model) some smaller companies would be switching to that type of vehicle. Larger companies still mostly see the bottom line, and when they can get a commodore hatchback for less than the price of a camry, they are not going to be forking out $35k+ for green wagon.

Colorado is selling well for a newie.

not really a newbie though is it - most customers must be seeing at as the next model of the Rodeo - that is good news for holden.

[Sorted]

Well even with all the Doom and Gloom on these forums and by the media in general Ford is up with sales - must be doing something right even with their nearly non - existent advertising

Good to see the Focus make some improvement.

And as most of the knowledgeable Members on AFF have said before, it’s not just Ford that are having a tough time its all manufacturers - numbers don’t lie

PS thanks for the Facts Update RATT

Total industry was down 10,000 sales compared to Oct 07. Ford is one of the few to post growth on last October which is a good sign.

[GORDZ]

ouch, that has got to hurt mazda... is ford the only maker to have had a good sector???

[RATT]

There are others like Fiat, which now has the 500 and the Ritmo. Renault had a strong month as well.

[Racecraft]

fairlane? I thought it was chopped?

[joolz]

Well that is good news for Ford. The only one to have a gain even though its small. I do know for a fact that the AWD Territory has fallen in sales heaps, only the 2WD is selling at the momemnt so i would have to agree it does need a facelift and possibly a Turbo Diesel when the V6 is introduced.

[Polyal]

All you can ask for really.

Racecraft, I am tipping that those fairlanes are still new on the lot.

[XR6_190]

In contrast it's a good result for Ford. Did any of the other mainstream companys make a positive result (sorry but I don't see Fiat or Renault as mainstream)

[BlackLS]

Could the Focus sales a direct result from the new ad campaign? Or fleets that were waiting for the new Falcon then deciding to go for the Foc?

[vztrt]

So Holden sold 300 aussie built units more then Ford did (in oz). Hmmmm yeah Holden would be packing themselves as well, they're lucky thay have the wagon thats selling.

[GORDZ]

how far off is the FG wagon? if at all?
