Ford's U.S. sales up in 2012

DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) ? Ford says it sold more than 2 million vehicles in the U.S. this year, the first time that's happened since 2007.

Sales through November were up 18 percent from the first 11 months of 2010. Sales of small cars are on pace to rise more than 20 percent, while utility vehicles are up more than 30 percent.

Ford sales have been improving this year as people replace the cars and trucks they held onto during the economic slump. In November buyers were lured by deals, improving confidence in the economy and the need to trade in older cars. An early blitz of holiday advertising also helped convince some people that it was a good time to buy.
