The first time was in October 2001, in response to zero percent 5 Honda Civic 164,994 financing. 6 Toyota Corolla/Matrix 152,308 “This is a strong statement about demand for Ford’s newest small car,” said Jim Farley, 7 Nissan Altima 133,465 Ford group vice president, Marketing and Communications. “Our dealers are selling the Focus at unprecedented rates, which puts it in the same league as the industry’s best-selling 8 Chevrolet Impala 122,281 small cars.” 9 Dodge RAM 112,795 Ford Fusion sales were also the highest for any month ever, up 27 percent from a year ago. 10 Ford Focus 105,499 Its stablemate, the Mercury Milan, also posted higher retail sales as did the Mercury Sable. 11 Chevrolet Cobalt 93,362 “Our small and midsized cars are outperforming the industry, and we’re only just 12 Honda CR-V 89,017 beginning,” Farley said.

  • Pininfarina in Geneva with the Concept Car Sergio
    PRESS RELEASE Pininfarina in Geneva with the concept car Sergio At the Motor Show world debut for the Sergio, a modern interpretation of the 2-seater barchetta As a tribute to the Senator, the stand is also displaying one of his most beloved masterpieces, the Dino Berlinetta Speciale, 1965 Turin, 5 March 2013 – It is named Sergio, after the man who led Pininfarina for 40 years and conceived some of the greatest car legends. It is the new, amazing concept car created to celebrate the Life Senator Sergio Pininfarina. At its world debut today at the Geneva Motor Show, the Sergio joins the brand that has so marked the history of Pininfarina: Ferrari. Universally known as Master of Italian style, the signature of Sergio Pininfarina left its imprint on the whole history of design with his creative genius, from the age of the great bodyworks to modern industry, often anticipating trends. The concept car dedicated to him renews the spirit of the extraordinary achievements under his leadership, translating it into a modern vision in the name of exclusivity, innovation and passion. The Sergio, in fact, is a two-seater barchetta that looks to the future, very compact, very sporty, racy, pure and sensual. An exercise that Pininfarina decided to undertake on Ferrari 458 Spider mechanicals. Its formal interpretation is absolutely free, in the best tradition of the Pininfarina research which has produced so many Ferrari-based concept cars or unique models now recognised as masterpieces. Its exclusivity and development on the basis of a production car, in fact, sets the Sergio in the tradition of the great Pininfarina custom-made cars specifically designed for "special" clients.
