Ford to report first sales increase in 20 months today

Brace yourself for some remarkable July sales figures today.

Thanks to Cash for Clunkers, automakers are likely to report remarkably vibrant monthly sales figures, leading off with Ford. Ford officials said Sunday that it will today report its first monthly sales increase since November, 2007. None of the six biggest automakers -- GM, Chrysler, Ford, Honda, Toyota and Nissan -- have reported an increase since last August, Ford officials say.

Ford's gas-thrifty Focus, above, was one of the big sellers. "It is a sense that regular guys and gals...went out in July and bought cars and trucks," For sales Vice President Ken Czubay said.

Hyundai says Cash for Clunkers boosted its sales tally by 20%.

Once-Mothballed Taurus Is Back on Stage at Ford

Peter Wynn Thompson for The New York Times


The new Taurus sedan, equipped with technology advances, will start at $26,000.



By BILL VLASIC NY Times

DEARBORN, Mich. — After a 20-year run, the Ford Taurus was headed for the scrap heap in 2007. The automaker planned to retire the name, and call its new sedan the Ford Five Hundred instead.

But Ford’s new chief executive, Alan R. Mulally, reversed course, figuring the Taurus name still had value, even though its reputation had faltered as the car became best known as a staple of rental car fleets.

Those instincts will be tested when a new version of the Taurus begins arriving in dealer showrooms next week. How consumers respond will answer a big question for Ford: can it make money on a full-size sedan?

“This a real acid test for our product strategy,” said James Farley, Ford’s head of global marketing.

Ford says it will exercise a new sense of discipline with the Taurus. Rather than aiming for a home-run product that sells hundreds of thousands of units — and then be forced to offer incentives to persuade shoppers to buy them all — Ford plans to build lower numbers of the Taurus. That way, it might be able to avoid steep discounts so it can turn a profit on each one.

If the car languishes on dealer lots, though, Mr. Mulally’s fledgling turnaround could stall.

The car’s base price of $26,000 is higher than some competing models.

Mr. Farley and other Ford executives readily acknowledge that previous versions of the car were utilitarian and hardly up to the standard of comparable sedans from Toyota and Honda.

But they also are counting on the image of the old Taurus fading from the public’s consciousness.

“Its deterioration over time has allowed us the freedom to write a business plan to more realistic expectations,” Mr. Farley said.

At its peak in the late 1980s, Taurus was the top-selling car in the United States with more than 500,000 sales a year. The new model’s targets are somewhere from 50,000 to 75,000 annually.

Ford’s most difficult challenge may not be lingering feelings about the old Taurus, but the strength of the vehicle market.

Weak economic conditions have battered auto sales since last fall. In the first six months of this year, overall vehicle sales in the United States have fallen 35 percent from the period in 2008.

Some industry analysts say the market appears to have bottomed out and could come back slightly during the rest of the year.

“Ultimately customers are going to judge you on whether you’re offering something new,” Mr. Farley said. “This car can’t just be a little better. It has to be demonstrably better in every respect.”

The advertising campaign, which begins next week on national television, focuses on technology. One of the new features is the “blind spot information system,” sold as an add-on, that uses radar to detect vehicles that can’t be seen in the mirror. Another is the so-called “eco-boost” engine that provides additional power without using more fuel.

Ford’s marketing managers spent a month last year interviewing three dozen of the car’s engineers to determine which features might be most compelling to potential buyers.

“The design speaks for itself, but we’ve got the goods to show when it comes to features,” said Matt VanDyke, director of Ford brand marketing.

The company has also produced a series of Web videos that compare how, for example, the paint job on the Taurus holds up in comparison to a Lexus luxury sedan.

Art Spinella, president of CNW Market Research, said that his firm had conducted five consumer focus groups on Taurus, and the results had been promising.

“It has come across extremely well,” he said. “I think the car is going to build its following slowly, but people like it as a product.”

Ford will observe the introduction of the Taurus next week at its Chicago assembly plant, where the car is being built. It is one of the few American auto factories that actually has a new product coming out.

Ford’s rollout of a new vehicle sets it apart from Chrysler and General Motors, both of which canceled or delayed several models in the months leading up to their recent bankruptcy filings.

Ford will follow the Taurus with the new Focus and Fiesta, both of which are smaller cars.

Bringing the Taurus back is just a piece of the broader strategy, Mr. Farley said, as the company shifts from a product lineup that relies heavily on trucks to one with more fuel-efficient cars.

And while the company is getting lots of positive feedback from consumers for not taking federal aid like G.M. and Chrysler, the good will alone won’t sell more cars.

“The key is to translate that good will into consumer shopping,” Mr. Farley said. “They may want us to succeed, but that’s not enough. We need them to get excited about the cars.”

Mustang to make its NASCAR debut next year

Ford plans to use the 2010 Mustang in several NASCAR Nationwide Series races next year, perhaps as soon as February at Daytona.

BY MIKE BRUDENELL
FREE PRESS SPORTS WRITER

Ford Mustang will muscle into the Nationwide Series in 2010 -- the first time the car has appeared in a NASCAR-sanctioned series.

The Detroit pony car could be seen in as many as five Nationwide races as NASCAR works on its new car rollout for the series next year with the Dodge Challenger, Toyota Camry and Chevy Impala SS also expected to participate.

The 2010 Mustang would join the Ford Fusion in Sprint Cup and the Ford F-Series pickup in the Camping World Truck Series as the Blue Oval's models in stock-car racing's elite series.

Mustang has enjoyed a rich history in motorsports since its introduction in 1964, winning in drag racing, IMSA and Trans-Am, Grand-Am Cup road racing and, more recently, in Formula D drifting. But it has never competed in NASCAR.

Brian Wolfe, director of Ford North American Motorsports, announced the Mustang racing venture Tuesday.

"It's the most successful nameplate in racing history, and it seems only right that it should be coming to the most popular form of racing in North America," said Wolfe in a release. "We're excited about being able to race Mustang in front of our loyal NASCAR fan base and know it's going to win races and championships just like it has in every other series it has competed (in)."

Wolfe, who owns several Mustangs, including an '86 version he drag raced, spoke later to the Free Press.

"I guess we scratched our heads why we didn't do this before," said Wolfe about Mustang's long absence from NASCAR. "We are definitely now bubbling over about the thought of 2010."

The Mustang might run early as February at Daytona.

"If NASCAR debuted the new Nationwide car at Daytona during Daytona 500 week, it would be fantastic, very cool," Wolfe said. "It's the most significant race weekend in the world."
