"Having a more balanced portfolio of cars, crossovers and trucks has helped us give Canadian consumers what they want," said David Mondragon, president and CEO, Ford of Canada. "As the only major manufacturer to have an increase in car sales, consumers are thinking of Ford as more than just a truck company."

Third-parties have also awarded Ford for its cars, crossovers and trucks. The all-new Fiesta has won Canadian Automotive Jury's 2011 "Best of the Best," the 2011 "Subcompact of the Year" from Auto123.com and the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada's "Best New Small Car under $21,000."

"The industry continues to lean heavily towards truck sales, but as fuel prices rise, the market will adjust and Ford's delivery of the freshest showroom in the industry with a balanced lineup of cars, trucks and CUV's will help deliver our long-term plan of sustainable growth and profit," said Mondragon.
