It’s been a while since the last time we’ve told you about a car recall, right? Well it seems like it was everything fine until now when Subaru decided to recall its 2018 Impreza, because of a software issue. The problem is that the engine might get stalled because of it and it has to be fixed. The recall covers 33, 131 Impreza sedans and hatchbacks in the U.S. built between Sept. 13, 2016, and March 15, 2017, according to documents posted on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s recall database. The company also issued a stop-sale order for new, uns...
Toyota Motor Corp. executive claims that the U.S. auto market has peaked and will shrink this year, with manufacturers using unprecedented incentives to support passenger cars through slumping demand. The president of Toyota’s U.S. sales unit, Bob Carter, says that industrywide deliveries may decline to as low as 17 million vehicles from last year’s record of about 17.5 million.

Ford has good expectations at least when it comes to its SUVs, and this was proved by the words coming out from Ford's vice president of U.S. marketing, this Monday.

Low fuel prices and improving fuel efficiency among SUVs have helped prod more Americans into buying SUVs and pickup trucks in recent ...
BMW topped its rival in the US luxury auto market for the first time this year, eking out a monthly sales increase and gaining ground on Daimler AG’s Mercedes-Benz. Deliveries of the X3 and X5 sport utility vehicles climbed 43 percent and 35 percent last month, respectively, pacing BMW’s total sales of 31015 vehicles. The Munich-based automaker outsold Mercedes by about 1900 units in March. As plummeting demand for passenger cars led most automakers to miss analysts’ estimates last month, BMW managed to keep deliveries of its 3 Series and 5 Series models roughly flat compared...
Yesterday car dealers added to concerns about the state of the U.S. auto industry and how tough any downturn might be if its six-year recovery has ended. In a conference call with media and analysts, officials of the National Automobile Dealers Association said they expected sales of cars and light trucks in the United States to dip to 17.1 million vehicles this year, high by historical standards but below 2016's record 17.55 million vehicles. Investors are also watching rising interest rates, inventories of unsold vehicles and the generosity of profit-eroding discounts that aut...
