After years of slow sales, Volkswagen is finally killing off the Touareg for the US market. Despite the ever-growing popularity of SUVs and crossovers, the Touareg never quite made a mark in America. Sales of the near-luxury SUV were down 26 percent in the first half of 2017, with just 1,630 units rolling off dealer lots. There's no one reason for the decline in sales, but the premium price tag cannot have helped. The 2017 Volkswagen Touareg starts at $50,405 in the US, with the top of the range Executive trim starting at $61,105. For reference, the all-new 2018 Volkswagen Atlas...
Cadillac marketing chief Uwe Ellinghaus claims that the U.S. sales party isn't over yet. U.S. sales will probably plateau this year just below 2016’s record finish and hover at near-record levels for some time. He says that what others call a “cooling off” is probably the best thing that has ever happened, because levels that were once seen as excessive are now sustainable. U.S. sales edged ahead 0.3 percent in 2016 to end the year at 17.5 million units, a seventh straight year of gains. Through March of this year, however, sales were down 1.6 percent, with Ca...
Just imagine what you’d feel like if you buy a car you simply adore, and then all of a sudden you realize this car belongs to someone else? Pretty weird huh? Well, that’s eaxctly what happened to Kristin Ellenson who loves everything about her 2012 Cadillac SRX, from the satiny silver paint job and sporty styling to the leather upholstery and wood-trimmed interior. She and her husband, Jim, bought the luxury sport-utility vehicle used from a car dealership in November 2015, but within a week of bringing it home they realized they had a big problem: The Corvallis car deal...
We were expecting for car sales to calm down in February, but despite all the expectations and predictions we were still hoping for better results. Bad news, U.S. auto sales showed to be even less resilient this month than anticipated. If we have to compare these results with February last year, than they are down 1.1%. Automakers like General Motors (GM), American Honda Motor Co., and Nissan North America reported new-car sales gains from a year ago. Volkswagen Group, plus the premium German nameplates and three independent brands, also posted sales increases. However, Ford Motor Co. (Ford) a...
We have a new forecast for this month’s car sales and it includes a 3.3% drop to only 1.3 million units. Await for a decrease of 21% for the mid-size cars. Even with all the drops and decreases we can still say that the sales pace for the industry is healthy, and what’s more important it looks sustainable, as we head into high volume selling months ahead. Retail growth for manufacturers will be tough to achieve in February, as consumer demand remains relatively flat despite increased incentives. Regardless of the expected dip in overall volume, at a SAAR of more than 17 ...
