People say everything beautiful comes to an end, this might sound not so optimistic, but considering the thing that the US auto sales boom is over, these words might be true. The sales pace for May came in under 17 million for a fourth consecutive month, signaling that another record year is unlikely. The best case is that 2017 will match 2016's 17.55 million. A pace of 18 million hasn't looked probable for some time, and in any case after two boom years, a jump of 500,000 vehicles sold by the end of 2017 would be a very hot market indeed. Specialists say that if we wan...

We knew that when automakers will reveal their April car sales the results will be disappointing, but we had no idea the sales will be this low. The auto industry might be receding from its breakneck pace, which means the chances of getting a third consecutive year with positive results are not so high. Overall, the industry reported a 4.7% sales decline to 1.43 million units. General Motors, Ford, Fiat Chrysler and Nissan each reported deeper-than-expected sales declines for the month. Toyota narrowly edged expectations, but it still recorded a 4.4% decline for the month, compared ...

The country’s focus on NEVs, a category that includes battery electric cars, plug-in hybrids and fuel-cell cars, wou...
