After three consecutive declines, automakers managed in November to make the largest year-over-year sales gain since February, posting a 3.6 percent gain. However, it took a big jump in incentives to make that happen. Those heavy incentives – now amounting to more than 12 percent of the industry's average transaction price – might be enough for 2016 to topple last year's record by a razor-thin margin. Going into December, U.S. sales were just 6,418 vehicles ahead of last year's pace, an increase of 0.04 percent. November and December have become big months fo...
Analysts didn't expect light vehicle sales will be this strong this November. The annualized selling rate adjusted for seasonal trends reached 17.8 million, the second-fastest pace of the year. While that pace is off from 18.1 million a year earlier, it’s faster than any analyst estimate in surveys. The average projection was for a 17.5 million rate. Automakers’ results released are giving investors new evidence to determine whether the industry’s expansion is coming to an end after a record 2015 -- or if there is more room for economic-driven growth.

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer on Tuesday delayed a court hearing set for Wednesday on Volkswagen Group's plan to address 80,000 polluting Audi, Porsche and VW 3.0-liter vehicles. In a court order, Breyer said negotiations are continuing between the German automaker, regulators and lawyers representing owners, and he set a Dec. 16 hearing, saying he had been advised that a delay "may produce a resolution of the outstanding issues." VW had reached an agreement with U.S. regulators for a mix of buybacks and fixes for the 80,000 vehicles, but still needed to reach agreement on o...
In just a few hours car companies will reveal their sales results for this November and we expect them to be not so bad since they had many chances to increase their income due to Thanksgiving holidays. We project a total U.S. vehicle sales for this month, including fleet and deliveries to hit 1.367 million units,, which is up 3.6% from the same period last year. On a daily selling rate basis, adjusted for the extra sales days, we expect transactions to decline by upward of 4.7% year over year. And excluding fleet sales, deliveries made to rental-car companies and other bulk buyers,...
Ontario plans to become the first province to allow self-driving vehicles to be tested on public roads. Testing of autonomous or self-driving vehicles can begin as early as Jan. 1, as Ontario seeks to grab a share of the billions of dollars auto makers, parts companies and technology giants are spending to develop cars that drive themselves. The province’s move will create better opportunities for Canadian companies to test components and show automakers their technologies. The prospect of self-driving cars was believed to be decades away, but tech companies and automakers are...
