U.S. auto sales have been really strong this September, but it seems like this year dealership traffic appears to have lowered after more than six straight years of steady growth. Almost all the automakers: General Motors, Ford, Fiat Chrysler and Honda reported declines, but Asian counterparts like Toyota and Nissan managed to register growth.The seasonally adjusted annual rate for September stood at 17.45 million units. Retail sales have eased since solid numbers were seen in the second half of last year. As such automakers are heavily spending on discounts and incentives to keep their f...
Tesla is keeping up with its ever-expanding ambitions, even though it faces lots of obstacles, and has lots of competitors it knows how to build a product, and how to sell it. Its model S sales jumped 59% over the same quarter last year, which means it increases its importance between other luxury cars. The carmaker may keep its sales results confidential, but one thing it still reveals, that Tesla is responsible now in the U.S. for almost a third of sales in the sedans' segment. Its nearest competitors are the newly updated BMW 7-Series and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Spokespeople for...
Almost a week passes without some announcement from automakers, suppliers – even ride-hailing services – about the impending arrival of self-driving cars. Experts claim that a fully automated vehicle that is 100 percent safe 100 percent of the time and can operate on any street in any weather condition in the U.S. is not right around the corner.

Last year has marked the highest rise in traffic fatalities since 1996, and of course we were hoping that this year things are going to change for the best. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has revealed the results, and once again they are too high. Road deaths in the US rose 10.4 percent in the first six months of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. The data, which has not been finalized, reveals that an estimated...
As we already know the U.S. car sales continued to soften this September, and are down 0.7% to 1.434m. The totals yielded a surprisingly robust seasonally adjusted annualized rate (SAAR) of 17.76m units, a solid rebound from August's 17.00m. The rate is down about 290,000 sales from last September. Sales are still slightly ahead of the first three quarters of 2015, it means a new annual record is still possible, although the outlook isn't favorable. Even though car manufacturers were running up incentives with about 2.5% compared to September 2015, they were down 0.2% compar...
