Competition among manufacturers is intense, and it is judged that it can not show its own trend in short-term sales.
Ford recently:
Medium pickup “Ranger”,
Crossover SUV “Aviator”,
Model change of “escape” and “explorer”
taking a new production sales strategy centered on popular large cars.
As GM and Ford reviewed the announcement, monthly data of about 30% (2018 years) of the nationwide new car sales volume can not be obtained.
