Toyota has finally cut its forecast for North American car sales by 60,000 automobiles this year, and it's the first time when it revealed what expectations it has for US's car market.

Despite many buyers holding out for a coming Chevy Bolt and Tesla Model 3, US electric car sales are doing great. Based on sales estimates for Tesla models (since Tesla doesn’t break out sales by month or by country), the Model S dropped to #2 and the Model X held onto #3 in the US car market, while the Chevy Volt rose to #1.

After the top 3, though, there’s a signifi...

Meanwhile, car sales are on pace to fall below 7 million this year for the first time since 2011 and only the fourth time since 1962. So while it's increasingly unlikely that 2016 will beat last year's record for total light-vehicle volume, sales of the big vehicles that generate the bulk of many automakers' profits are at an all-time high. From that perspective, with gasoline prices expect...
The US car sales are down and of course, Amarillo is not an exception. It's been revealed that local dealers sell 21% less new cars, comparing to the same month last year. New auto sales have dropped 0.2% across the nation. It includes the first three-month consecutive decline the car market has seen since the recession. Cars tend to sell better in spring and summer than fall for myriad reasons, Amarillo National Bank senior vice president John T. McElyea said. Parents will buy new vehicles in anticipation of summer vacation road trips. When their kids return to school in the fa...
