The president of Toyota’s U.S. sales unit, Bob Carter, says that industrywide deliveries may decline to as low as 17 million vehicles from last year’s record of about 17.5 million. A rapid shift in demand toward sport utility vehicles at the expense of sedans is the main factor driving automakers’ heavy discounts. Once the industry starts to get their pipelines lined ...
Ford has good expectations at least when it comes to its SUVs, and this was proved by the words coming out from Ford's vice president of U.S. marketing, this Monday. He says the sport utility vehicles will not stop here, and the sales of them will rise in the United States.
