The president of Colorado's automobile association considers that it wouldn't make financial sense to open car dealerships on Sunday. Nevertheless, eliminating the Sunday prohibition on auto sales will be among dozens of recommendations headed to Colorado lawmakers in 2017. The recommendations are part of the annual review by the Department of Regulatory Agencies on state regulations set to sunset. Prohibitions of the sale of motor vehicles on Sundays - often listed as one of Colorado's so-called “Blue Laws” - have already been eliminated by 34 states. The Co...
German politicians are calling for a total ban on internal combustion engines by 2030, and, not content with deciding their own affairs, they also want it to apply across the whole European Union. Although we can agree a bit on the thing that plug-in cars are better for the environment, we were thinking on how will the EU react to that? People are used to these powerful petrol cars, and banning them wouldn't it mean banning all of the car lovers? The Bundesrat, or federal council, is asking the EU not just to consider its proposals to outlaw petrol and diesel cars, but to implem...
This year is on it's 10th month already and we were trying to make some calculations already on how much did rise the traffic fatalities. Last year has marked the highest rise in traffic fatalities since 1996, and of course we were hoping that this year things are going to change for the best. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has revealed the results, and once again they are too high. Road deaths in the US rose 10.4 percent in the first six months of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. The data, which has not been finalized, reveals that an estimated...
As we already know the U.S. car sales continued to soften this September, and are down 0.7% to 1.434m. The totals yielded a surprisingly robust seasonally adjusted annualized rate (SAAR) of 17.76m units, a solid rebound from August's 17.00m. The rate is down about 290,000 sales from last September. Sales are still slightly ahead of the first three quarters of 2015, it means a new annual record is still possible, although the outlook isn't favorable. Even though car manufacturers were running up incentives with about 2.5% compared to September 2015, they were down 0.2% compar...
It's absolutely clear to everyone now that the U.S. auto sales begin to ebb, that is the main reason why the American auto giant General Motors is eyeing growth in China as an even more crucial component of its business. GM auto sales in China through the first eight months of the year jumped 8.1% to 2.38 million, compared with a 4.2% drop to 1.96 million in the U.S.. That included 293,537 autos sold in August, a monthly record and up 18% from the year-ago period. The president of GM China has admitted that this growth was expected by the company, and this year has really been r...
