Ford Says June U.S. Auto Sales Slide Lowest Among Major Makers

By Keith Naughton
June 29 (Bloomberg) -- Ford Motor Co., the only major U.S. automaker that hasn’t filed for bankruptcy, said its June sales of cars and trucks will be the “lowest” decline of any major automaker.
“The worst is behind us,” said George Pipas, in a briefing at the company’s headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan. “We may see economic growth in the second half and a higher level of auto sales.”
Automakers for June may post an annual U.S. sales rate that exceeds 10 million vehicles for the first time this year, according to estimates by Edmunds.com, J.D. Power & Associates, CSM Worldwide and Deutsche Bank. U.S. sales of cars and light trucks fell to 13.2 million last year after averaging more than 16 million annually through this decade.
Ford is benefiting from being the only major U.S. automaker not going through a government-financed bankruptcy, said John Wolkonowicz, auto analyst for IHS Global Insight in Lexington, Massachusetts. The company is the second-largest U.S. automaker, behind General Motors Corp.
“Ford has a good product line, excellent quality and they don’t have the stigma of having taken government money,” Wolkonowicz said in an interview. “They’re like the little engine that could and the public likes that.”
Ford’s U.S. sales fell 24 percent in May while the industry total dropped 34 percent.

Ford of Ocala benefits from no Gov't Bailout!

Ford could be gaining ground with consumers who appreciate the fact that Ford has not resorted to a federal bailout to keep itself in business.
That’s good news for Ford, although I keep saying Ford is wise not to crow too soon or too loud. Ford could some day find itself in the same boat as Chrysler and GM, unless sales improve.
In May, not a single brand in the U.S. market posted higher sales than the year-ago month, according to AutoData sales figures. That’s the first time in recent memory I can remember that happening. In recent months, somebody somewhere has always managed an increase, even if it was a tiny brand with an increase of less than 1 percent.
CNW Marketing Research reported today the results of surveys starting in December 2008. The results showed an increase in the percentage of consumers who indicated they were more favorably inclined to consider buying a Ford, because Ford didn’t ask for or receive federal assistance.
In December, that group made up 19.6 percent of the respondents. In February it was 27 percent, and in May 38 percent, CNW said.
In the most recent survey, about 9 percent of respondents said that “not accepting bailout funds” was the single most important reason for considering a Ford, according to CNW.
“A ‘Buy American’ attitude has been growing, but the primary beneficiary is likely to be Ford which is not only a U.S. brand, but not owned by the federal government. Consumers in large part — better than 80 percent — believe the bailout funds were misspent and government ownership is anathema to how business should be done,” CNW said, in its monthly Retail Automotive Summary.
“Time will likely heal these attitudes. When Chrysler was purchased by Daimler, a large portion of the WWII generation said they wouldn’t buy a car from a German company,” CNW said.
