The 2017 Fiat 124 Spider is stylish, fun to drive and priced well under $30,000 for all but the top version. It's easily the best car in Fiat's four-vehicle U.S. lineup and a worthy successor to the storied original Fiat 124 Spider that debuted in November 1966. But the reincarnation of that iconic Italian sports car is built in Japan by Mazda. The two-seat convertible coupe -- powered by a turbocharged inline-four -- shares a platform with Mazda's MX-5 Miata, and the cars are built in the same plant. But the 124 Spider has a Fiat engine and transmission that together pro...
Hillary Clinton has made a distinction between her and Donald Trump, her rival for the U.S. president post. She has painted herself as the person who fights for income fairness and middle-class workers. The Democratic lady told to the crowd of 500 people at the Futuristic Tool and Engineering event that she plans to invest in infrastructure, offer new tax credits, encourage corporate profit-sharing and paid apprenticeships. She promised she will do wherever it takes to bring the U.S. auto companies back, which are investing outside of the country in order to avoid the huge taxes, by...
Hyundai Motor Co. and its smaller affiliate, Kia Motors Corp., saw their combined U.S. sales rise by more than 6 percent in July, thanks in large part to strong sales in sport utility vehicles. The two South Korean auto giants sold 134,972 units in the U.S. market last month, up from 127,324 units in the same month last year, exceeding the country’s automobile industry average growth rate of 5.3 percent. Hyundai reported that its sales rose 5.6 percent from last year to 75,003 while Kia reported a total of 59,969 units, up 6.4 percent compared with a year ago. Both automakers ...
There is still much space for the US auto sales to grow. Many car industry leaders have expressed their worries that the six-year expansion is about to lose steam. The analysts believe that the peak has passed, but car makers are still not ready to accept that. The seasonally adjusted, annualized rate of sales, a broad measure of the industry's health, peaked at 18.15 million light vehicles during the current cycle in October 2015. The pent-up demand following 2008-9 downturn has been exhausted, at least that's what economists think. Because of that they have predicted an anticipa...
It's not a secret that the auto sales cycle may be turning stormy. Still, that doesn’t mean it is time to batten down the hatches. For those with a little faith in the future, Nissan Motor looks like a bargain. The U.S. auto sales appear to have downshifted for now. This spells tough times for Japan’s auto makers, which count the U.S. among their biggest markets. Toyota Motor Corporation is also feeling more profit-sapping pain from the strong yen. This is due to the fact that a large portion of the vehicles it sells in the U.S. are imports from Japan. Honda and Niss...
