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...
Even as incentive spending reaches a record high, U.S. new-vehicle sales are projected to decline for a second consecutive month. The forecasts reinforce the notion that industry sales have leveled off after six consecutive years of gains coming out of the recession.

Meanwhile, the brand is challenging its brand image, promoting it from scratch to scratch, and conveying it to consumers. The automaker know...

The celebration of Kia's new $3 billion assembly plant in Mexico, was supposed to be fun and interesting, and it was interesting, but was it really fun? Glad-handing by local officials, lofty praise for the jobs created and money brought in, ceremonial ribbon-cutting with high-ranking executives in from Korea. But, the time for Miguel Angel Lozano to take the stage came, a mayor of Pesqueria, a small town about two hours from the southern tip of Texas. Kia's new plant sprawls over about 1,200 acres in Pesqueria, and, to hear Lozano tell it, his town has almost nothing to sho...
