People say everything beautiful comes to an end, this might sound not so optimistic, but considering the thing that the US auto sales boom is over, these words might be true. The sales pace for May came in under 17 million for a fourth consecutive month, signaling that another record year is unlikely. The best case is that 2017 will match 2016's 17.55 million. A pace of 18 million hasn't looked probable for some time, and in any case after two boom years, a jump of 500,000 vehicles sold by the end of 2017 would be a very hot market indeed. Specialists say that if we wan...

Toyota is seen as a reliable, quality value brand. Even when it was going through its recall problems, the users were saying, ‘What’s all the fuss ab...

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.
