Ford's (F 2.24%) overhauled lineup of cars and trucks has been selling very well in many markets around the world. Ford's recent success here at home is no surprise, but the company is also gaining market share in Europe -- and in China, Ford's Focus has quickly become one of the huge country's best-selling cars.
