The Ford Mustang suffered a 32-percent sales decline in September, handing the monthly sales crown to the Chevy Camaro for the first time in about two years. The company also said it is shutting down the Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan for a week as it deals with slower sales. The shutdown started on October 10th with production set to resume on October 17th. The Flat Rock Assembly Plant is in charge of making Mustangs, as well as the Lincoln Continental. As a part of Ford's labor agreements, all 3,702 employees that work on the two vehicles will continue to be paid during the shutdow...
U.S. auto makers, responding to weaker demand for sedans and other passenger cars amid low gasoline prices, are rebalancing production at U.S. factories in favor of building more sport-utility vehicles and trucks. General Motors Co. said it plans to add 650 hourly workers in Tennessee at a plant making the GMC Acadia and the Cadillac XT5, two midsize SUVs. Idled for three years after the auto maker’s 2009 bankruptcy, the Spring Hill, Tenn., factory is playing an increasingly important role in GM’s U.S. operations. The job additions come a day after Ford Motor Co. idled a...
September’s auto sales in the US stood at 1,428,000 vehicle units. This was ~0.5% lower than US auto sales of 1,435,000 vehicle units in September 2015.

However, it also ignited a debate about US auto sales being at peak levels and a possible downturn in US auto demand going forward. Through September 2...
This September US electric car sales have risen 0,87%, it is already a big plus for the green cars market, even though it still has a long way to go. The plug-in cars market is dominated just like a few years ago by Tesla, and a few other models like Chevy Volt, Ford Fusion Energi and Nissan Leaf-that keeps hanging in there despite the growing and coming competition. We were expecting for the green cars sales to grow, and evolve, because we have great expectations that by 2025 the country will be dominated by these types of vehicles. But, we couldn't help but obse...
This year is on it's 10th month already and we were trying to make some calculations already on how much did rise the traffic fatalities. Last year has marked the highest rise in traffic fatalities since 1996, and of course we were hoping that this year things are going to change for the best. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has revealed the results, and once again they are too high. Road deaths in the US rose 10.4 percent in the first six months of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. The data, which has not been finalized, reveals that an estimated...
