Nov. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Ford Motor Co. said the Fusion sedan has become one of the 10 best-selling U.S. vehicles for the first time on record demand.Fusion sales this year reached 151,137 through early November, topping the full-year sales record for the midsized model of 149,552 in 2007, the company said in a statement. The 15 percent gain in the first 10 months of 2009 made it the most popular car for a U.S.-based automaker, Ford said. U.S. industry auto sales have fallen 25 percent this year.
Ford, the only major U.S. automaker to avoid bankruptcy, said its avoidance of a government bailout this year has helped attract shoppers. Ford had 15.8 percent of the U.S. auto market through October, up from 14.8 percent a year earlier, according to research Autodata Corp. of Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey.
