Last year the U.S. auto sales set an all-time record for the first time in 15 years. The slow but steady economic recovery, low interest rates and depressed gas prices managed to make the 2015 economic environment a carmaker's dream. Unfortunately, this dream may morph into a full-fledged nightmare in just a few short years at least for members of the industry establishment like Ford Motor Co. (ticker: F), General Motors Co. (GM), Honda Motor Co. (HMC) and Toyota Motor Corp. (TM) If we take a look at the U.S. vehicle sales in 2016 thus far, we'd see no particular reason to p...
The 2017 Fiat 124 Spider is stylish, fun to drive and priced well under $30,000 for all but the top version. It's easily the best car in Fiat's four-vehicle U.S. lineup and a worthy successor to the storied original Fiat 124 Spider that debuted in November 1966. But the reincarnation of that iconic Italian sports car is built in Japan by Mazda. The two-seat convertible coupe -- powered by a turbocharged inline-four -- shares a platform with Mazda's MX-5 Miata, and the cars are built in the same plant. But the 124 Spider has a Fiat engine and transmission that together pro...
July's green-car sales results, while still somewhat tepid, were enough to make auto-industry watchers downright patriotic, as increased demand for Ford and General Motors' hybrids and plug-in vehicles partially salvaged what was still a tough month. In fact, take out the impact of Volkswagen's continued stop-sale on diesel vehicles (of which more than 8,000 were sold in July 2015), and green-car sales were about dead-even with year-earlier figures. As it was, US green-car sales fell 17 percent to about 40,500 units. As for plug-in vehicles, demand spiked 20 percent from a year ear...
According to the latest data from General Motors, the second-generation Chevy Volt continues to rack up impressive sales numbers. It has been announced that the sales of the Chevy Volt have now reached 100,000 units. This is probably due to a growing demand for alternatively powered automobiles. Steve Majoros, Director of Marketing, Chevrolet Cars and Crossovers, says that the model delivers not just a fun driving experience behind the wheel. It has become the first vehicle with plug-in electrification technology to truly become mainstream. Last month, GM's plug-in hybrid sold a...
AutoNation Chief Executive Mike Jackson confirmed that demand for cars and trucks are slowing in the U.S. He also added that the operator of auto dealerships around the country is aiming to cut excessive inventory of unsold vehicles. Mike Jackson said that the market for cars and trucks in the U.S. is forcing dealers and automakers to come up with a new strategy for their business. It's difficult to accept the current situation after enjoying years of good growth. Jackson considers that the major problem is that the automakers overproduce their vehicles, offer deep discounts an...
