J.D. Power has released its 2017 annual report card on vehicle quality and again the first spot has been taken by Kia. Only 72 problems per 100 Kia vehicles were reported, and that’s despite the shake-up in the 2017 U.S. Initial Quality Study rankings that included significant shifts with the German and Japanese brands -- most notably, Toyota and Lexus -- falling behind many U.S. and Korean car brands. The vice president of global automotive company J.D. Power said that Kia is without question the best quality the world has ever seen. The industry is picking up steam and really impr...
Hyundai USA and its smaller affiliate Kia Motors revealed their US sales and it turns out that even though their sales in China plunged 65%, the situation was a bit different here in US.

By brand, Hyundai Motor sold a total of 60,011 units in the U.S. last month, do...
We’re used to seeing the South Korean automotive business flourishing, which is why we were a bit surprised when Hyundai Motor and its smaller sibling Kia Motors revealed these poor sales for May.

Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors shipped out a total of 482,968 vehicles last month, down 14.3 percent from a year earlier. Overseas sales of Hyundai Motor came to 307,362 units, down 16.5 percent on year, while those of Kia Motor...
US May car sales finally revealed and surprisingly Ford Motor edged its archival and perennial first-place automaker General Motors sales when it came to sales last month. Although likely a temporary blip, Ford outsold crosstown rival GM by about 3,000 new cars and trucks in May, making it temporarily the largest automaker in the U.S. market. It was the first time Ford outsold GM since March 2016. Before that, it hadn't happened since March 2011. Ford's sales rose 2.4% for the month compared to the same month last year, GM was down 1.4% and the third of Detroit's Big 3, ...
Automakers are expected to report flat US car sales in May vs. a year earlier after demand fell in the first four months of 2017. Smaller and crossover SUVs are expected to offset continued weakness in cars, with General Motors likely to be the biggest beneficiary. Fiat Chrysler and Ford Motor are likely to see new-vehicle sales fall. Japanese automakers such as Honda should eke out tiny gains while South Korea's Hyundai-Kia, with far more cars in the vehicle mix, could see the biggest drop. Tesla does not provide monthly sales figures. Tesla will soon start rolling out its mass-market Mod...
