With the direction the company is going, I'm surprised any Ford is in the top 20 - save the F-150.

Alright, always good to see.

I wonder why the Explorer is taking such a greater hit than the Trailblazer. Doesn't it get better mileage out of its V6? I guess its a styling issue.

I'm shocked to see the Sierra at number 11. And the Impala at 12!!

Nice to see the Cobalt climbing.

Grand Cherokee is impervious to gas prices.

The Focus redesign was a waste.

HEY, it looks like the Trailblazer might unseat the Explorer as the best selling SUV in the country this year. Only 5,900 units away.

Of course, the Grand Cherokee is picking up steam in a major way.

Not with the 06 Explorer just around the corner.

With the spin that the media puts on it who wouldn't think Ford was going to be bankrupt by next week?... and GM by the end of the month.

The Ford Econoline always blows my mind. 99% of that suckers sales have got to be commercial.

if the frickn corolla/matrix are going to buddy up to inflate the numbers I think its about time we start tacking the HHR numbers on to the Cobalt!!!!!!

I wasn't commenting on GM. I'm not exactly a GM fan either, rather more so of the Ford kind.... if you get my drift.

The performance by Ford Motor Company has been unacceptable for far too long - and this chart shows the continued decline of Ford. I don't know what else can be said?

Focomo is fooling no one that this is an SUv

[griswold44]

So you're telling me this is better?

A lot more personality in its design.

I have to agree. I've always liked the Trailblazer's exterior design. The design of the pictured Explorer is so bland it puts me to sleep. The 2006 Explorer is much better.

You do realize that Chevy is outselling Ford for 2005 so far, right?

The TrailBlazer does have a nice exterior design, but that is pretty much the only thing good about it.
