US car sales declined during January, we think the reason is pretty obvious: high incentive in December, low sales in January. Even so, the analysts are pretty sure that vehicles sales last month showed good results, and it won’t be the same for February. Customer confidence, better deals on vehicles and low gasoline prices will raise the demand for vehicles once summer sets. The seasonally adjusted annualized sales rate stood at 17.6 million vehicles for the month as compared with 17.9 million vehicles from the last year. Here's a detailed look at the auto sales of the automake...
Thanks to leadership changes, strategy doubts and new startup dreams luring self-driving technology Google’s car projects have been a talent sieve. It’s been found out that early staffers had a different system that awarded them based on project’s value. By the end of 2015 the payments have become this high that many veteran members didn’t need the job security anymore. In December, the car unit morphed into a standalone business called Waymo, and the system was replaced with a more uniform pay structure that treats all employees the same, according to a...
General Motors Co. and Toyota Motor Corp. officials will tell a U.S. House panel that need changes to automotive safety rules to allow the deployment of self-driving cars on American roads.

On Monday, Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., and Senator John Thune, the Republican chairman of the Commerce Committee, said in a joint statement...

Fleet sales, particularly those to rental agencies, are skewed toward passenger cars, which are falling out of favor as consumers shift to sport utility vehicles and trucks. Nissan's Rogue SUV continued to be Nissan’s top seller as sales soared 45.5% in January. It’s important to notice that 62.6% of January U.S. sales were of SUVs and trucks, up from 5...
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...
