Today, Ford (NYSE: F) announced that it sold more than 2 million vehicles in 2011, the first time the company accomplished the feat since 2007. The company returned to the position of No. 2 domestic automaker behind GM (NYSE: GM) primarily through its freshened product line and weakness among its Japanese competitors Toyota (NYSE: TM) and Honda (NYSE: HMC).

Consumers are well aware of the product timelines that many manufacturers follow. Cars are typically redesigned every 5-7 years and Ford has introduced many new models over the past few years. Their volume seller, the Ford Focus is all new for 2012 and won many comparison tests from automotive publications. Consumers now emphasize reliability and high tech features from economy cars, and Ford is clearly meeting consumers’ expectations after years of struggle.
