The latest study revealed by specialists reveals that policy would deliver the sharpest blow to Jaguar Land Rover while giving a leg up to Ford Motor Co. and Tesla Inc. It seems like most automakers would need to raise vehicle prices by thousands of dollars, which is more than $17,000 per vehicle in Jaguar Land Rover’s case, because it imports all its vehicles. Ford, with significant domestic manufacturing, would need to mull the smallest price hike among major automakers, at about $282 per vehicle, followed by General Motors at $995, according to the report. The estimates aim...

Even with GM and Tesla taking the biggest part of the market, Toyota Prius stays on top. Essentially, Tesla and GM are pulling the market forward. The Nissan LEAF — introduced all the way back in 2011 — is still hanging in well above the crowd as well, though. Again, its success relative to other models is quite si...
For nearly a year and a half, the Volkswagen Dieselgate scandal has been making headlines. While the headaches might not be over for Volkswagen executives, they could be coming to an end for U.S. owners of Audi, Porsche, and VW vehicles illegally designed to cheat on emissions tests.

Car sales in America are going strong, but the rate of growth has ...
Let’s expect flat U.S. auto sales for the month of January, cause there are no hopes or reasons for them to be different. A very high level of incentives is sustaining U.S. automobile sales on a high plateau. This January the average spending per unit was $3,614, which means it’s up $232 from January 2016, not a bad result though considering the expectations we had. High prices match the high level of incentives. The average new-vehicle retail transaction price in January was $31,473, a record for the month. That’s the total price, net of incentives. It would be a ...
It didn't took look for Japan to give an answer to the intensifying trade pressure from US President Donald Trump with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe rumored to be meeting the head of Toyota Motor Corp this week and business lobby Keidanren setting up a Trump task force. On February 10 he will visit Washington in order to discuss the issue with the US leader, and we expect them to find a solution towards the trade deal between the countries, and of course the automotive sector. Ahead of those talks, Abe will meet with Toyota Chief Executive Akio Toyoda. One of them said the meeting w...
