It is absolutely clear already that the U.S. car market won't set another record this year, and will decline from 2015's record in the next few years, these words were finally told by the Honda Motor Co's top American sales executive. The industry will sell 17.3 million to 17.5 million light vehicles this year, this could almost reach the last year's record of 17.5 million. Honda’s John Mendel told reporters Thursday on a conference call. Beyond 2017, sales should run between 16 million and 17 million, he said, barring any major shocks, such as a sharp increase...
This is not the first time when Tesla Motors is blocked from selling its electric cars directly to customers in Michigan. Over the past couple of years, Tesla has been engaged in a battle with Michigan's franchised car dealers who – like dealers in several other states – view Tesla's direct-sales model as a threat.

Almost all the carmakers missed estimates, as the long six years’ growth for the industry appeared to have come to a halt in August. Overall industry sales ...
Strong U.S. consumer spending might lose a pillar of support. Auto sales have been a bright spot for overall U.S. retail sales of late, mostly holding up in good months and bad. Even in July, when retail sales missed expectations, sales at autos and parts dealers rose. But disappointing auto-industry figures unveiled earlier this month are a concern. And it is the auto dealers that might go from positive catalyst to deterrent in Thursday’s retail-sales report, one of the final major economic data points the Federal Reserve will consider before its highly anticipated policy mee...
