After a rough 2009, automakers are counting on sales in 2010 to recover. Now the results are in for the first full month of the year. Some automakers are rallying, while the numbers dash the hopes of others.
Toyota’s sales were adversely affected by a Stop-Sale order on the eight models which account for more than 60 percent of its sales. It ended the month down 8.7 percent over the previous year.
On the other hand, Ford, Hyundai, and Subaru all started 2010 with over 20 percent sales increases over January 2009. Here are the details:
Ford continued its sales surge with a 24 percent increase over last January and an increase in overall market share. Ford’s car models were the big sellers with the Focus, Fusion, and Taurus posting strong increases over last January.
