Mexico is predicting that it will slash sales records this year, exceeding the
886,000 units sold in 2000 by five percent, reported Mexico City daily el Economista.
“The expectation is to finish the year with 930,000 vehicles sold in the
internal market, which would be another year of national consolidation with
growth of about five percent,” the paper reported Ford Mexico President
Kathleen Ligocki as saying.

Ten thousand vehicles would initially be exported to the two countries with
the possibility of adding Argentine exports later, the paper said.
