We guess you are interested in how well traditional dealers sell electric vehicles in the U.S. Well, it's a good question. The latest survey involved 174 participants who visited 308 car dealerships and stores that represented 13 different automakers in 10 ZEV states. Some of the volunteers even bought an EV during the process. Volunteers were asked to rate their overall experience with the dealership on a five-point scale where 1 was “very negative” and 5 was “very positive”. The results are mostly predictable – although maybe slightly better then...
We have told you about the Louisiana Disaster Which Killed People and Destroyed Houses and Vehicles, and now the dealerships association of the state announced how they are fighting the catastrophe back! Louisiana Dealers Association President admitted that 60 up to 80 auto dealerships got closed in the state due to the flood. The staff can't literally make it to the store, and of course people who can't even get out of their own apartments and houses. People aren't just dealing with losing their homes but also with losing their vehicles. Some offices and dealerships...
It's been revealed, that General Motors has payed money to its dealers for 7 years already. All these years more than $5 billion were offered to GM dealerships, under the EBE program. But now, that most of them have done some shiny makeovers, there's no need to make some extra, right? GM has decided to keep that spigot open for any of its Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC dealers who jump though the necessary hoops under the brand standards program called Essential Brand Elements. The cash will be an incentive for dealers to keep those stores modern with new video displays...
Last year the U.S. auto sales set an all-time record for the first time in 15 years. The slow but steady economic recovery, low interest rates and depressed gas prices managed to make the 2015 economic environment a carmaker's dream. Unfortunately, this dream may morph into a full-fledged nightmare in just a few short years at least for members of the industry establishment like Ford Motor Co. (ticker: F), General Motors Co. (GM), Honda Motor Co. (HMC) and Toyota Motor Corp. (TM) If we take a look at the U.S. vehicle sales in 2016 thus far, we'd see no particular reason to p...
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...
