The president of Colorado's automobile association considers that it wouldn't make financial sense to open car dealerships on Sunday. Nevertheless, eliminating the Sunday prohibition on auto sales will be among dozens of recommendations headed to Colorado lawmakers in 2017. The recommendations are part of the annual review by the Department of Regulatory Agencies on state regulations set to sunset. Prohibitions of the sale of motor vehicles on Sundays - often listed as one of Colorado's so-called “Blue Laws” - have already been eliminated by 34 states. The Co...
If you don't know how to raise your U.S. market share in 2016, here is the answer – you have to turbocharge fleet sales. Actually, that may be the only way in an increasingly competitive market that has hit a plateau after six years of growth.

The original suit was never served on FCA and an amended complaint was filed in March. FCA denied the allegations in the suit. U.S. D...
As we already know the U.S. car sales continued to soften this September, and are down 0.7% to 1.434m. The totals yielded a surprisingly robust seasonally adjusted annualized rate (SAAR) of 17.76m units, a solid rebound from August's 17.00m. The rate is down about 290,000 sales from last September. Sales are still slightly ahead of the first three quarters of 2015, it means a new annual record is still possible, although the outlook isn't favorable. Even though car manufacturers were running up incentives with about 2.5% compared to September 2015, they were down 0.2% compar...
