BMW topped its rival in the US luxury auto market for the first time this year, eking out a monthly sales increase and gaining ground on Daimler AG’s Mercedes-Benz. Deliveries of the X3 and X5 sport utility vehicles climbed 43 percent and 35 percent last month, respectively, pacing BMW’s total sales of 31015 vehicles. The Munich-based automaker outsold Mercedes by about 1900 units in March.

What else interesting happened in the U.S. car industry aside from the Tesla being the leader in the electric car sales, and the big three carmakers revealing low car sales?

On the flip side, it’s quite impressive to me that Nissan logged 1,478 sales of the LEAF. With the Bolt here (even if in limited supply) and the...

The industry reported sales of 1.56 million vehicles for the month, down 1.6% from a year earlier, amid increasing inventories of unsold vehicles, especially of small cars.

Sales incentives rose 13.4% in March, compared to a year earlier, to an average of $3,5...
Tesla revealed that its sales on the first quarter have surged to 69% comparing to the last year’s sales. The automaker has sold approximately 13,450 Model S sedan and about 11,550 Model X sports utility vehicle models. The company has even better expectations, saying it might deliver 47,000 -50,000 Model S and Model X vehicles combined in the first half of 2017. In the fourth quarter, deliveries had fallen 9.4 percent due to short-term production hurdles from the transition to a new autopilot hardware. Tesla had said production challenges, which started at the end of Oct...
