Do you remember the tweet Donald Trump has shared with us about how he disagrees with General Motors building a new plant in Mexico? The new elected-president criticised the company, and threatened it with big border taxes. The CEO of GM finally reacted to the statement, by saying that manufacturing decisions and plant investments are made far in advance of production and can’t be easily reversed. This is a long-lead business with highly capital-intensive investments—decisions that were made two, three and four years ago. General Motors has no plans to move sma...
America has its favorites when it comes to cars and it's Toyota Camry. Being a leader for 15 years, that is something any car maker would want for its cars. Exclude the pickups and trucks, and no one else can beat the Camry. The question you might have now is will it be able to keep the crown as it got redisigned? We've seen impressive sales of Toyota's RAV4 and Honda CR-V, since buyers are switching to more versatile SUVs and forget about passenger cars. The Camry, last reworked four years ago, has made a living by being a solidly reliable if dull ride for people who si...
U.S. sales of new cars and trucks hit a record high in 2016, automakers said on Wednesday, and investors bid up shares in the sector as strong consumer confidence and relatively low fuel prices bolstered the industry's outlook. December sales rose 3 percent, and on a seasonally adjusted annualized basis were 18.43 million vehicles.

U.S. consumer confidence reached levels not see...
Automakers are on the cusp of a second record-breaking year for sales as dealers made an end-of-year push to empty their lots over the weekend. But even as the industry hopes to let the confetti fall on 2016, it must brace for a slowdown that analysts project will come to a head in the new year. Many analysts anticipate a photo finish when carmakers report their annual hauls Wednesday, with some forecasting that 2016 will edge out the previous year’s sales of 17.5 million autos by as few as 5,000 vehicles. If those projections prove true, 2016 would mark the seventh consecutive year of r...
No matter how auto sales turn out when they are reported Wednesday, it's going to be a squeaker. The auto industry is on the cusp of reporting another record year, perhaps topping 17.5 million new vehicles sold in the U.S. But the numbers are so close that forecasters are divided on the prospect. The focus is turning, instead, to 2017 to see whether the industry can reignite sales growth based on consumer optimism, a rising stock market and a healthy housing market. Some auto industry analysts say that retail automotive sales continue at a blistering pace, giving the auto indust...
