Plus, based on the strong sales of the all-new MKC, Lincoln produced its best sales results in October since 2007.”

Fusion October sales totaled 22,846 vehicles – an increase of 5 percent – representing the car’s best-ever October sales performance.

Escape reported sales of 24,919 vehicles last month – a 12 percent increase and the vehicle’s best-ever October performance.
