What else could be considered as the best present for Volvo on its 90th birthday?! If you don’t know yet than we’ll give you a hint, it’s something related with “sales”. Now, the answer is more visible right?! Well, Volvo wasn’t always here, it fought a lot for the right of being where it is now. Since 2014 Volvo has annually set a new global sales record, a streak it expects to continue in 2017 by topping the current high of 534,332 that was reached last year. The automaker's profit margin has improved 6.1 percent in 2016 compared with a 4 p...
Emily Hurwitz is an advertising supervisor from San Francisco and she doesn’t like buying cars from traditional dealers, and she prefers buying cars from online platforms which unite car sellers and car buyers.

He says the sport utility vehicles will not stop here, and the sales of them will rise in the United States. The country’s second largest automaker has unveiled its refreshed version of Ford Explorer SUV not so long ago, and it increased the carmaker’ sales to nearly 40%. Low fuel prices and improving fuel efficiency among SUVs have helped prod more Americans into buying SUVs and pickup trucks in recent ...
Tesla has leapfrogged General Motors to become America’s most valuable carmaker, riding a wave of optimism about the electric vehicle company despite its continuing losses. Shortly after the start of trading on April 10th, Tesla's stock market cap overtook that of GM – it was worth about $51 billion, or $1.7 billion more than its established rival.
