Renault-Nissan Alliance came just short of matching General Motors and joining the ranks of the three biggest automakers by global sales, after CEO Carlos Ghosn rescued a Japanese peer last year. Nissan Motor Co., Renault SA and Mitsubishi Motors Corp. combined delivered 9.96 million vehicles last year. The three automakers chaired by Ghosn finished fewer than 4,000 cars and trucks short of GM’s deliveries in 2016 and within about 350,000 units of new worldwide leader Volkswagen AG. Ghosn emphasized the scale Renault and Nissan would add by coming to the aid of Japanese peer Mitsubishi M...
The latest study revealed by specialists reveals that policy would deliver the sharpest blow to Jaguar Land Rover while giving a leg up to Ford Motor Co. and Tesla Inc. It seems like most automakers would need to raise vehicle prices by thousands of dollars, which is more than $17,000 per vehicle in Jaguar Land Rover’s case, because it imports all its vehicles. Ford, with significant domestic manufacturing, would need to mull the smallest price hike among major automakers, at about $282 per vehicle, followed by General Motors at $995, according to the report. The estimates aim...

Growing 59% year over year, approximately 12.000 electric cars were sold across the country, accounting for approximately 1% of US auto sales. Tesla and GM are pulling the market forward. Even with GM and Tesla taking the biggest part of the market, Toyota Prius stays on top. Essentially, Tesla and GM are pulling the market forward. The Nissan LEAF — introduced all the way back in 2011 — is still hanging in well above the crowd as well, though. Again, its success relative to other models is quite si...
For nearly a year and a half, the Volkswagen Dieselgate scandal has been making headlines. While the headaches might not be over for Volkswagen executives, they could be coming to an end for U.S. owners of Audi, Porsche, and VW vehicles illegally designed to cheat on emissions tests. In fact, some believe that there could be a silver lining to Dieselgate's dark clouds: a small surge in auto sales, similar to the one spawned by the U.S. government's Cash-for-Clunkers program in the wake of the Great Recession. Car sales in America are going strong, but the rate of growth has ...
