Consumers apparently were not waiting for the latest
Consumer Report on what vehicles to purchase. According to Don Hammonds of the
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the new full-sized
Buick Lucerne, which replaces the
LeSabre and the
Park Avenue; and
Ford's new mid-sized
Fusion, one of two replacements for the
Taurus (the other being the
Five Hundred), are proving to be strong sellers for their respective automakers.
Sales of the Lucerne, for example, went from a paltry 285 in October to 2,724 in November and over 6,000 in January and 7,327 last month. And the Fusion had over 5% market share among the mid-sized sedans last month, as well.
