* Retail sales for the Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, and Lincoln Zephyr were
a record 19,440 in July, up 18 percent compared with June. Total sales
(including fleet deliveries) for the company's new mid-size sedans were
20,129.

DEARBORN, Mich., Aug. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Retail demand
continues to grow for Ford's (NYSE: F) new mid-size sedans (Ford Fusion,
Mercury Milan, and Lincoln Zephyr). Retail sales for the trio totaled
19,440, up 18 percent compared with June 2006. Total sales (including fleet
deliveries) were 20,129.
Demand is expected to remain strong in the coming months as 2007
models, which went into production on July 31, will incorporate several
standard safety features (e.g., side air bags) and all-wheel drive as an
option.
Overall, Ford's July retail sales were up 7 percent compared with June
-- the second best retail month in 2006. Seven Ford products posted their
best retail sales of the year including the Fusion, Milan, Ford Five
Hundred, and Ford Explorer. Ford's F-Series truck posted its second best
retail month of the year as did the Ford Freestyle and the Ford Expedition.
Compared with July 2005, most Ford products experienced sharp declines
and overall sales declined 34 percent. In July 2005, Ford offered employee
prices (Ford Family Plan) to all customers and posted record sales for the
month.
"We had a solid retail month in July," said Al Giombetti, president,
Ford and Lincoln Mercury sales and marketing. "We are particularly
encouraged by the response to our new cars, which offer distinctive styling
and outstanding fuel economy. They are definitely the right products at the
right time."
Later this year, Ford will introduce two all-new crossover utilities,
the Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX.

Suzuki's July 2006 Sales up Over Last Year
BREA, Calif.--Aug. 1, 2006--American Suzuki Motor Corp. (ASMC) today announced sales of 8,030 units in July - an increase of 13 percent over July 2005. Year-to-date sales total 64,989, up 32 percent over the previous year. Suzuki's monthly sales records continue its recent sales momentum, which included record sales of 82,101 in 2005 - the best sales year in American Suzuki's 21-year history.
ASMC's growth was led by the sales of its Grand Vitara, which sold 2,146 units, an impressive 675 percent increase over last year's numbers. The top-selling Forenza family of vehicles also contributed to Suzuki's record month, with 4,446 units sold in July.
"Suzuki's record-setting sales pace puts American Suzuki on track to continue our growth in 2006," said Koichi Suzuki, president of American Suzuki's Automotive Operations. "The sales success of the Grand Vitara and the Forenza models, combined with the scheduled launch of two new Suzuki vehicles later this year (the all-new Suzuki XL7 SUV and the all-new Suzuki SX4 with standard all-wheel drive) positions American Suzuki for a successful sales result this year."
Suzuki's expanding product line in the United States includes the media-acclaimed Grand Vitara, the popular Forenza sedan and Forenza Wagon, the five-door Reno, the Aerio and Aerio SX, the Verona and the Suzuki XL-7, one of the most affordable seven-passenger SUVs sold in the United States.
In addition to the strong vehicle lineup, Suzuki automobiles feature America's #1 Warranty with its industry-leading 100,000-mile/7-year, zero deductible, fully transferable limited powertrain warranty.
