FoMoCo dropped their thick and juicy first quarter Ford brand auto sales, and they've more than doubled since the same quarter last year. Sales were up 121% on the year, blowing away the competition's average on-year growth of around 54%. So what allowed them to bubble up above the competition to have sales going like a turbo 'vette? It appears to be the new and locally produced Ford Focus — a joint venture between Ford and China's government-owned Changan Automotive Group. Keep kickin' them nasty thoughts, Ford — keep kickin' them.
