The Ford Motor Company --  including the San Marcos dealerships -- is enjoying a spike in sales. Nationally, Ford sold 43 percent more cars and trucks in February than it did a year ago. The sales increase  is led by the mid-sized Ford Fusion. Ford sold 110 percent more Fusions than it did this time last year.   In February, Ford had better sales than recall-beleaguered Toyota as well as G-M. That hadn't happened in more than a decade.  Ford’s stock has increased to more than 12 dollars per share -- a dramatic increase over last year’s price, which was below two dollars.
