Item 8.01. Other Events.
Our news release dated November 3, 2010 concerning U.S. retail sales of Ford vehicles in October 2010, filed as Exhibit 99 to this Report, is incorporated by reference herein.
Further to the U.S. sales call that took place today with analysts and media, we currently expect global industry sales volume in 2011 to grow from the 2010 level, with our early assessment reflecting the potential for U.S. industry sales volume to pass 12 million units and perhaps move closer to 13 million units, and for European industry sales volume in the 19 markets we track to be in the vicinity of 14 million units to 15 million units. We will update our guidance in early 2011.
