U.S. sales of new cars and trucks hit a record high in 2016, automakers said on Wednesday, and investors bid up shares in the sector as strong consumer confidence and relatively low fuel prices bolstered the industry's outlook. December sales rose 3 percent, and on a seasonally adjusted annualized basis were 18.43 million vehicles. The results prompted executives from the three biggest sellers in the U.S. market, GM, Ford, and Toyota Motor Corp, (7203.T), to predict that this year's sales will be near 2016's record levels. U.S. consumer confidence reached levels not see...
Automakers are on the cusp of a second record-breaking year for sales as dealers made an end-of-year push to empty their lots over the weekend. But even as the industry hopes to let the confetti fall on 2016, it must brace for a slowdown that analysts project will come to a head in the new year. Many analysts anticipate a photo finish when carmakers report their annual hauls Wednesday, with some forecasting that 2016 will edge out the previous year’s sales of 17.5 million autos by as few as 5,000 vehicles. If those projections prove true, 2016 would mark the seventh consecutive year of r...
No matter how auto sales turn out when they are reported Wednesday, it's going to be a squeaker. The auto industry is on the cusp of reporting another record year, perhaps topping 17.5 million new vehicles sold in the U.S. But the numbers are so close that forecasters are divided on the prospect. The focus is turning, instead, to 2017 to see whether the industry can reignite sales growth based on consumer optimism, a rising stock market and a healthy housing market. Some auto industry analysts say that retail automotive sales continue at a blistering pace, giving the auto indust...
Not long ago the region which was taken by Toyota Motor Corp. was composed of more than half diesel cars, and now it got changed by the car brand. In more than a year Toyota is ready to report a leap in hybrid vehicle sales for this year. Toyota's goal right now is to enlarge its hybrid sales, until they reach the half of its worldwide sales, until the end of decade.Toyota had decided a few years ago to avoid taking on diesel cars in Europe. While demand for the Prius was increasing in the U.S. and other markets, it was barely being noticed in Europe. Its strategy was based on a...
While U.S. auto sales are likely to set a record before 2016 draws to a close as it beats last year's mark of 17.5 million new cars and trucks, 2017 probably won't fare as well. In fact, it may surprise many people as Ford, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and General Motors are already closing production plants. Although last year's record will be broken, there's already a decrease in sales this December and forecasts say that the trend will continue throughout 2017. Apparently the three largest manufacturers in the country, Ford, General Motors and FCA, are already gettin...
