Lincoln plans to produce luxury SUVs in China by late 2019, as it steps up its budge into the world’s largest auto market and aims to catch up with German and U.S. rivals.

Chip giant Intel buying Mobileye; Lincoln to make SUV in China; Piech ousted again?; Easing driverless-car rules in CA; Car inventories erection; Sync three learns Chinese handwriting.

Sales gains in the pickup, utility and luxury segments weren’t enough to save Ford from feeble retail and fleet spectacles on the car side as February sales fell four percent.

As a Lincoln-Mercury dealer in Fresh Jersey in the 1990s, Robert Robertazzi successfully sued Ford Motor Co. over payment for warranty work. That landmark case helped make Fresh Jersey one of the very first states to put teeth in its laws requiring dealer reimbursement at retail rates for warranty-related parts and labor.

Ford was unprofitable in Europe from 2011-2014. But then-CEO Alan Mulally implemented an aggressive restructuring plan that included shuttering three manufacturing plants, slashing thousands of jobs and reinvigorating its product lineup with fresh and freshened vehicles, including spectacle and luxury variants.

Lincoln plans to air a television ad for its flagship Continental sedan this Sunday during the Grammy awards. Called “Cord,” the luxury brand’s 60-second spot features contemporary blues musician Gary Clark Jr. and a one-of-a-kind amplifier — designed by Revel Audio Systems — that mirrors the Continental’s mesh grille.

VW mulls steps against Piech; Expanded Renault-Nissan alliance closes in on GM; Food, hope in storm-hit Fresh Orleans; Lincoln’s blues groove; BMW taps Skoda exec; Putin hosts VW CEO.

Ford plans to expand its lineup of Ford and Lincoln SUVs and crossover vehicles in the U.S. to thirteen models from seven by 2020, according to company officials and supplier sources, in response to rapid growth in sales.

Lincoln Motor Co. plans to go after up on its latest sales gains by focusing on unique customer service practices.

A strong retail spectacle couldn’t help Ford overcome a decline in fleet sales as the automaker’s January sales fell 0.7 percent compared with the same month a year ago.

Ford Motor Co. executives have repeatedly stressed that Lincoln’s come back to relevancy will be a long journey. Luis Somoano, chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, thinks the thickest step in that journey will come in 2017.

Ford is expanding its customer service division with a fresh Omnicraft brand of aftermarket parts to cover non-Ford and non-Lincoln vehicles.
