After months of doom and gloom in the auto industry, we're finally starting to see some good news. Today, Ford announced that the new Fiesta is flying out of European showrooms and the company has increased its market share across Europe.
"It is very encouraging to see Fiesta doing so well and also our market share developing so positively, given the declining market we are continuing to face in Europe," said Ingvar Sviggum, vice-president of marketing, sales and service for Ford of Europe. "With 56% of our March sales generated by retail customers - up from 43% in March 2008 - we have clear evidence of consumer confidence in our Ford product range."

I’d buy one if they put a diesel in it.

They look like frowning suppositories
Glad I bought Ford at $2.30.
In under 2 in early feb. WOOT!
Baby schlitz green.. no thanks.
If you were a suppository, wouldn't you be frowning?
I bought 100 shares of FoMoCo 2 weeks ago as a reward for them keeping thier hands off of my wallet.
That’s what I bought. I just started trading, I have a decent sized 401k, but this is just my money to play with. I put $230 down, got 100 shares, now I have $420 worth of F.
I’m a fan. My next stock purchase will be more F. I have CSCO, GE, F and C, (just a little of C, kind of a flier).
that 3-door looks like an Emerald Ash Borer I found in my yard last year
VW is currently the best selling car company in the world....
They passed Toyota in the first quarter...
Funny that you consider it a reward...
It might well reward you, but as Ford doesn’t get rewarded much by your purchase... none of that money you spent actually goes to them...
Had you bought bonds, that might have been a different story (more demand = lower rates they would have to pay)
