The US auto sales have been booming for the past few years, and some of the upsurge has been driven by so-called “subprime” lending and by extended terms on loans. As we tend to have the most positive expectations, we can not exclude the worry among market observers who don't think sales can be sustained at their current near-record levels. When the counting is all-done in 2016, we will possibly not see such good sales results as in 2015 when a record of 17.5 million new cars and trucks rolled off dealer lots. We can still expect for 17.3 million this year. A slight ...
The U.S. should maintain President Barack Obama’s 2025 automotive fuel-economy target because the goal spurs innovation and job growth. By setting a long-term target similar to those of the European Union, Japan and China, Obama is providing the auto industry with a stable market big enough to support sustained innovation. Obama wants average U.S. auto fuel economy to rise from 35.5 miles per gallon this year to a projected 50.8 mpg in 2025. His successor will make a preliminary decision next year on whether to stick with that goal. A recent technical assessment report by the...
Meet and greet a new car luxury marque, the first one of the 21st century. It's been more than 25 years since a major automaker launched a luxury brand, the times of Infiniti and Lexus joining the U.S. market as the luxury vehicles of Nissan and Toyota.

Meanwhile, the brand is challenging its brand image, promoting it from scratch to scratch, and conveying it to consumers. The automaker know...
Strong U.S. consumer spending might lose a pillar of support. Auto sales have been a bright spot for overall U.S. retail sales of late, mostly holding up in good months and bad. Even in July, when retail sales missed expectations, sales at autos and parts dealers rose. But disappointing auto-industry figures unveiled earlier this month are a concern. And it is the auto dealers that might go from positive catalyst to deterrent in Thursday’s retail-sales report, one of the final major economic data points the Federal Reserve will consider before its highly anticipated policy mee...
It's absolutely clear to everyone now that the U.S. auto sales begin to ebb, that is the main reason why the American auto giant General Motors is eyeing growth in China as an even more crucial component of its business. GM auto sales in China through the first eight months of the year jumped 8.1% to 2.38 million, compared with a 4.2% drop to 1.96 million in the U.S.. That included 293,537 autos sold in August, a monthly record and up 18% from the year-ago period. The president of GM China has admitted that this growth was expected by the company, and this year has really been r...
