The headlines for Hyundai Motor America's 2016 sales results were the kind any automaker would be proud of: Despite a car-heavy lineup, tight crossover supplies and thin incentive support, Hyundai and the new Genesis brand combined for a seventh consecutive year of record sales. But how Hyundai got there raises questions about the brand's sales tactics and its prospects heading into a softening market, including whether it relies too heavily on sales to rental agencies and to dealerships themselves, dealers and people familiar with Hyundai's sales operations say.

We were already convinced Austin won’t be affected by the US car market getting cooler, since it had such a great 2017 start, but it seems like nothing’s forever. According to sales at Austin dealerships consumers bought only 10,919 new vehicles during this month, comparing to 11,183 cars the same month last year. The recent slowdown is in contrast to the first two months of the year, which saw booming sales. January car sales were up 10.4 percent and February sales surged 22.4 percent over the same months in 2016. Thanks to that strong start, through the end of May...
Analysts say that U.S. auto sales in June will likely fall 2 percent from a year earlier despite large discounts for consumers, presenting a fresh sign that automakers are heading into a downturn.

The seasonally adjusted annualized rate for the month will be 16.5 million vehicles, down nearly 2 percent from 16.8 million units in the same mo...
