Ford won't be snagging the best-selling-car title away from
Toyota just yet, but in addition to what should be another runaway best-selling-truck title, it can also boast being the top-selling brand in the US last year. While year-end sales totals aren't even in yet, Ford has already confirmed that it hit a big milestone by selling more than two million sales in the US for the year.
Following the November numbers that were up 5.4 percent year-over-year and were only about a month's worth of Escape sales short of the two-million-sales mark (1,961,177) to begin with, this didn't come as a huge surprise, but what is noteworthy is that Ford is the only brand to eclipse this mark since 2007 (and it has done so two years in a row).
Chevrolet and Toyota are the closest competitors to Ford having sold 1,684,555 and 1,674,802 units, respectively, through November, but this doesn't include sales from other brands. Looking at automakers as a whole,
General Motors should have top sales with almost 2.4 million units tallied at the end of November while Ford and
Lincoln combined just barely passed two million sales during this same period.
Putting things in a bigger scale, Ford also says that, as of September, the
Focus,
F-Series and
Fiesta models were three of the top five in global sales based on data provided by
Polk. We should have our
By The Numbers post up soon with a full breakdown of December and 2012 sales, but until then, check out some of Ford's press release posted
after the jump.
