Now that Mercedes Benz has announced to pause its U.S. diesel plans we feel like country’s auto sales feel another blow. Daimler revealed that it had to obtain certification to sell 2017 diesel models in U.S. from U.S. environmental regulators, but it didn’t. The outlook is now growing cloudier as scrutiny from the Environmental Protection Agency keeps models off the market and the costs rise to meet toughening pollution rules. Mercedes says that fewer than one out of every 100 cars sold in the U.S. is a diesel. Diesel’s future has been relegated back to what ...
Some of you might ask yourself what’s so special about sports cars? They aren’t designed to go off-road, the biggest part of them have space for just one passenger and still the sports cars sales are up in US this Spring. U.S. sales of compact sports cars are up 3.4 percent in 2017, while overall car demand is off 12 percent, including an 11 percent slump in April. Truck sales, including crossovers and SUVs, have increased 4.4 percent so far in 2017.The big winner among small sports cars this year is Mazda’s MX-5 Miata, which, after a redesign, got off to a slow s...
We knew that when automakers will reveal their April car sales the results will be disappointing, but we had no idea the sales will be this low. The auto industry might be receding from its breakneck pace, which means the chances of getting a third consecutive year with positive results are not so high. Overall, the industry reported a 4.7% sales decline to 1.43 million units. General Motors, Ford, Fiat Chrysler and Nissan each reported deeper-than-expected sales declines for the month. Toyota narrowly edged expectations, but it still recorded a 4.4% decline for the month, compared ...
Another year-over-year decline in the automotive industry. This April wasn’t that successful as automakers and dealerships wanted them to be, and this is why we have such low car sales predictions. Declines will be broad-based, with General Motors, Ford, Fiat Chrysler and all other major automakers expected to report lower sales. Meanwhile, Tesla shares soared to a record high Monday ahead of the electric vehicle maker's earnings Wednesday. April auto sales will likely come in at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 17.1 million, down 1% vs. a year earlier. But that would ...
We’ve got for you a new forecast, and we are afraid it’s not a positive one. Expect the new car sales in U.S. to drop 3.1% in April to 1.445M units. Sales for mid-size SUVs/crossovers are expected to be 8%, while compact and small car sales are seen falling. Mid-size SUVs appear to have the largest impact in swaying consumers from buying mid-size cars and minivans, both of which are down 20 percent this year. The 2017 calls for U.S. auto sales might be approximately in the range of 16.8M to 17.3M units, which represents a 1% to 4% decline from last year. ...
