Ford:

From January, changed the announcement frequency of new car sales from every month to quarter (3 months).

Following General Motors (GM: changed every quarter from April 2018), the second company.

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.
