Volvo was doing really good in 2016 and its revealed double-digit earning improvements proves that. The automaker forecasts a fourth consecutive year of record sales for 2017, in this goal it will be helped by the arrival of new models such as second-generation XC60 and the all-new XC40. Operating profit rose 66 percent to 11.0 billion Swedish crowns ($1.24 billion) and revenue increased 10 percent to 180.7 billion crowns. That helped improve the automaker's profit margin to 6.1 percent compared with a 4 percent margin in 2015. Since being bought by China's Zhejiang Geely Ho...
Renault-Nissan Alliance came just short of matching General Motors and joining the ranks of the three biggest automakers by global sales, after CEO Carlos Ghosn rescued a Japanese peer last year. Nissan Motor Co., Renault SA and Mitsubishi Motors Corp. combined delivered 9.96 million vehicles last year. The three automakers chaired by Ghosn finished fewer than 4,000 cars and trucks short of GM’s deliveries in 2016 and within about 350,000 units of new worldwide leader Volkswagen AG. Ghosn emphasized the scale Renault and Nissan would add by coming to the aid of Japanese peer Mitsubishi M...
BMW announced that sales of BMW X models made in Spartanburg County helped boost the total number of BMW brand vehicles sold in January.

He also added that the company is very much looking forward to the launch of its brilliant next generation 5 Series. BMW North America reported sales of BMW brand vehicles increased 0.1 percent in January fo...
For nearly a year and a half, the Volkswagen Dieselgate scandal has been making headlines. While the headaches might not be over for Volkswagen executives, they could be coming to an end for U.S. owners of Audi, Porsche, and VW vehicles illegally designed to cheat on emissions tests. In fact, some believe that there could be a silver lining to Dieselgate's dark clouds: a small surge in auto sales, similar to the one spawned by the U.S. government's Cash-for-Clunkers program in the wake of the Great Recession. Car sales in America are going strong, but the rate of growth has ...
Let’s expect flat U.S. auto sales for the month of January, cause there are no hopes or reasons for them to be different. A very high level of incentives is sustaining U.S. automobile sales on a high plateau. This January the average spending per unit was $3,614, which means it’s up $232 from January 2016, not a bad result though considering the expectations we had. High prices match the high level of incentives. The average new-vehicle retail transaction price in January was $31,473, a record for the month. That’s the total price, net of incentives. It would be a ...
