Car makers can expect for some favorable environment for lucrative truck and SUV sales into the next year. As the right conditions come together for a continued oil glut. That heralds lower prices at the pump, les painful driving, and less scrutiny of EPA mileage figures on Monroney stickers. Oil supply and inventories are rising, but the demand falls off sharply, since the overseas interests are conspiring to keep prices down— and in their favor. The International Energy Agency have predicted an oversupplied crude oil market, with “glut” conditions lasting until ...
The average fuel-economy rating vehicles sold in the United States this August was about 25.3 miles per gallon, that's down 0.1 mpg if we compare it with the July average. The the average fuel-economy rating for all of 2015 cars sold was 25.3 mpg. We can truly say that fuel economy ratings on new automobiles sold out has improved by 5.2 miles per gallon, that's about 26%.

The 4.1% decline in U.S. new-vehicle sales in August provided more evidence of plateauing of consumer demand. The numbers further underscored the waning interest of buyers for sedans, especially in the midsize category.

For Nissan (NSANY), the automaker's Rogue crossover in...
Probably all of us know that the US automobile sector struggled to maintain sales momentum in August. Despite the fact that July was surprisingly robust, the industry recorded a major decline of 4.1% last month. Many automakers claim that they have reached a peak in demand. They also reported that they sold fewer vehicles, as reduced discounting kept customers from showrooms. The upside is that because everybody was counting on a small recession in the auto industry, stocks remained flat. This is also good news for the customers, who can expect sweeter deals, as incentives will be needed to sh...
Global car sales have gained momentum this year, rising a stronger-than-expected 5% through July. While gains are expected to moderate through year-end, strengthening labour markets and improving financial conditions suggest that the upswing will continue in 2017. There are still nearly 50 million vehicles on the road in the United States that were built prior to the new millennium, and as a result U.S. purchases are expected to continue to move higher for the remainder of the year and in 2017. Carlos Gomes, Senior Economist and Auto Industry Specialist at Scotiabank, said that the ...
