Good news and bad news for Ford Motor Company, Mustang sales are up 124% in January compared to the same month from 2014 but month-to-month sales were down 8%. The month-to-month decline has to be concerning for Ford with the launch of an all-new Mustang and we are only four months into sales/deliveries.
Why the decline in month-to-month you might ask? One word, “Weather”, yes the cold temps and snow have blanketed much of the country and even a massive blizzard hit the Northeast shutting down several states for days. This would be my guess for the decline as it makes the most sense. Lets tap the brakes and see what happens in February before we say the 2015 Mustang is a failure.
