We’ve been waiting for this happening and here it comes, Donald Trump will announce the new fuel efficiency rules when he will meet with automaker chiefs this week. He will be visiting an autonomous vehicle testing facility based in Detroit this Wednesday and also will meet with some major automakers CEOs who asked for revising the rules of Obama’s administration. The administration has decided to review the feasibility of the 2022 through 2025 vehicle emissions rules, after the Obama administration moved in its final days to keep them.

General Motors promised us other things but that’s how it all turned to be, even if it said it will invest $1 billion in U.S. factories now it announced to temporarily cut off 1,100 workers in May as its Lansing Delta Township assembly plant in Michigan shifts production to Tennessee. Last year it added 800 jobs at its spring hill, Tennessee plant to build the new version of GMC Acadia SUV. The Lansing plant will continue building the Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Traverse after it retools for a month. GM also has announced other U.S. factory cuts. U.S. President Donald Trump ha...
Tesla doesn’t even surprise us anymore for showing growth year by year. We weer expecting that the automaker will show steadily growth in 2016, and so it did. Nearly 80,000 Tesla cars were bought by consumers in 2016. Tesla's sales improvements have taken place since it launched its first designed-from-scratch Model S sedan in 2012.

But during the ti...
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 ...
