    Behind the Numbers with Erich Merkle: August, 2015
    Bob Seger once sang about “running against the wind.” Well, we did just that in
    August, and let me explain why. The year-over-year comparisons for August were
    destined to be really tough for the industry because the Labor Day weekend –
    which typically provides a strong boost in vehicle sales – happened to be counted
    as part of “August” sales last year. This year, Labor Day weekend is included in
    September sales figures. For this reason the majority of our competitors
    experienced a decline in sales.
    We’ve been talking a lot about the gains that we would see in the second half of
    the year. Leaning into the wind we muscled out a 5 percent gain and saw our
    share rise. August can best be described as an impressive Ford sales month
    powered by . . . you guessed it . . . our newest products. This is an important step
    forward for us.
    Let’s look at some of that muscle.
    F-Series truck sales were up 5 percent, marking the best August sales since 2006.
    And for the first time since we completed the plant changeovers to the all-new F-
    150, we surpassed the 70,000 truck mark for the month. That’s selling an F-Series
    pickup an average of every 38 seconds during the month of August. Let that soak
    for a minute . . . and we achieved this without the added Labor Day weekend
    sales boost. It’s a true testament to the power and popularity of our Built Ford
    Tough trucks. It’s also important to point out that F-150 EcoBoost sales are
    growing, representing 63 percent of F-150 retail sales in August giving us an 86
    percent increase versus EcoBoost F-150 sales relative to year ago.
    Our vans also went to work in August, with sales up 70 percent, marking our best
    van performance since 1994 led by Transit and Transit Connect. Transit sales
    totaled 10,263 vans while Transit Connect produced its best-ever August results
    with 3,995 vans sold. When America works it’s in a Ford!
    Ford brand SUVs were strong in August with sales up 12 percent, giving us our
    best August SUV sales month since 2003. The days-to-turn is so tight on our
    newest SUVs that we have a tremendous opportunity to sell even greater 
    numbers. Edge sales were up 36 percent with vehicles turning in just 20 days on
    dealer lots. And Explorer sales were up 22 percent and turning in only 16 days.
    August marked the fourth consecutive month that Explorer sales lifted above
    20,000 vehicle mark.
    Mustang sales continued to accelerate with sales up 70 percent in August. We’re
    seeing sales increases in every part of the U.S. In California, for example, Mustang
    retail sales were up almost 70 percent, and retail sales in Florida doubled in
    August.
    Our newest products are out and the uptake in the market is significant right now.
    This is clearly demonstrated in the August sales numbers, despite the difficult
    Labor Day weekend timing differences. Our hard work with the record number of
    new product transitions last year and into this year has paid off. Now it’s pedal
    down, as we are going to have to maximize our production output to stock our
    inventories and fill demand. The folks love ‘em!!!

    • Those that cannot accept a multi-cultural world and immigration deserve to lose everything. I will stay professional, but believe that our North American Economy is about to get far worse over the long term than it is now. It is amazing how people do not seem to realize that the first two years of a new president is dealing with the ramifications of the last president. The high inflation was due to the failed policies of those before. We now have low unemployment and a strong economy. Will be interesting to see how it ends.
    • I say, let it get worse.  The people have spoken and this is what the MAJORITY voted for.  He even got the popular vote.  Therefore the people of America have spoken.   This is what they want.  This is what they feel comfortable with.   But I dont want to hear ANY whining from ANYBODY about what possibly may happen with him Him in power.  Fool me once,  shame on you!  Fool me twice, shame on me?   Technically this is how that saying goes.  But you never know. Maybe it really IS the lefty libtards that are the problem.   Hopefully it IS the lefty libtards that are the problem and the Messiah Trump will BE the solution to ALL of our problems.   I will be the first one to apologize if He actually does fix America's and Canada's problems.  And unite ALL of the world and the world gets to sing Kumbaya ALL in unison. Hopefully He is the next coming of Christ.   Keeping my fingers crossed but I aint holding my breath if you know what I mean.   
    • @oldshurst442 This pretty much sums up just how bad it is going to get. Trump's economic plans would worsen inflation, experts say | AP News
    • Not just iPhones... He tariffed Canadian wood the first time around as Pres and the prices of wood skyrocketed so American home builders bought American wood which was and is more expensive than Canadian wood.  I guess that is good for American wood producers. But for the fact that house prices also skyrocketed.  And considering that Canada and US have a more or less good trading thing going on...so not that good.  Not for the US and not good for Canada.  But Donald thinks otherwise. And all the folk that voted for him this time around think that the economy will get better?  I hope so for their sake. But Elon and Jeff B's billions rose quite a bit upon the announcement of his re-election.  I wonder if those  people that voted for him, I wonder if their wealth also rose instantly?    You poor bastards... You have no idea what is coming to you... (those that voted for him.  With the excemption of the rich of course)     Donnie Rides Again
