Monday, January 09, 2012 Ford Reports Strong Sales Numbers for 2011
 Ford Canada reports strong sales numbers for the second year in a row. The F-Series remains a strong seller, with the popularity of the F-150 powered by the new V6 EcoBoost engine selling more than 24,000 units (34%) since the product launched last year.
"Full-sized trucks are experiencing record-breaking sales in Canada," said Scott Cauvel, vice president of sales, Ford of Canada. "Consumers don’t have to sacrifice space and fuel economy in their trucks."
Car sales were up 14%, driven by the Ford Fiesta and the launch of the new 2012 Ford Focus. Total vehicle sales rose 3%, as a result of strong SUV and CUV sales. The Ford Explorer sales increased 119%, and Ford Escape was up 3%.
"We are optimistic that the Canadian auto industry will continue to grow in 2012," said Cauvel. "Ford is well-positioned to take advantage of this growth, offering a full line-up of fuel-efficient vehicles, including our first Ford Focus Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV)."
