Toyota has finally cut its forecast for North American car sales by 60,000 automobiles this year, and it's the first time when it revealed what expectations it has for US's car market.

Nissan Motor Co., which posted a drop in profit as it gave heftier incentives that buoyed deliveries, said it’s not seeing room for further expansion. The executive vice president of Toyota admitted that the car sa...
Ford Motor Co., looking to bounce back from a 12% sales decline in October, has launched a Black Friday clearance sale several weeks before those sales typically take place. The automaker is offering $1,000 “Black Friday Cash” rebates on 2016 and 2017 model-year vehicles, in addition to other offers. For years, automakers didn’t aggressively participate in Black Friday merchandising, instead relying on year-end clearances. In addition to tagging its sale as a Black Friday promotion, Ford is also calling the sale a “year-end event.” A spate of Black Frid...

As a remedy, he soon may fire up Honda's Japan export engine. In an interview Hachigo said a blitz of key redesigns, starting this fall with the redesigned CR-V and continuing with updates to the Odyssey and Accord, will intensify the capacity problem. Takahiro Hachigo said that if they reach 1.7 million U.S. sales this year, then they will probably add on top of that nex...
If you don't know how to raise your U.S. market share in 2016, here is the answer – you have to turbocharge fleet sales. Actually, that may be the only way in an increasingly competitive market that has hit a plateau after six years of growth. Fleet activity has defined overall sales winners and losers, according to industry sources that track bulk sales to rental companies and commercial and government buyers. Through September, major players with double-digit fleet increases posted net sales gains. Those that cut back or stood pat on fleet lost overall volume. Analysts ...
