    Sorry. I couldn't resist.

     

    Seriously, this perfectly illustrates what was talked about yesterday regarding across the board sales struggles and why it will continue. Looks like everyone took a hit last month.

    Buick and Cadillac did well given the current market.  Especially that 17% rise in Buick sales.  I never thought I would see that kind of double-digit increase in sales for Buick, and Caddy up by nearly double digits is good news too.

    So is that Alfa Romeo sales increase mostly in Europe? I have not seen them selling here, mostly just sitting on the lot next to the Fiat 500 garbage. Clearly does not show selling 300K a year like Sergio promised.

    Hey Surreal...we dont troll, we gremlin!

    Maybe for this month and moving forward, the Camaro FINALLY exorcised its Demons!

    (yes I know! Shyster Hennessey versus straight from Auburn Hills stock...still phoquing cool, though!)

    (Hey, Shelby, we need another Super Snake!)

    Indeed....! Although there is a real part of me that would not mind owning an Ecoboost Mustang.

    Understandable. I'm more of a Challenger man myself. The extra room is a plus for me (and it sits just like my old Magnum which is a huge plus).

    Three brands I really like, Audi, Cadillac and Buick all doing well. VW is still sucking wind after the TDI scandal even though sales are up slightly. Wonder why Ford is so far down?

    The Challenger has really grown on me...I wasn't a strong fan when it came out, but I like it much more now.

    True, but they sell a lot of trucks in the mix...

    Good time for me to be buying a replacement car for my TDI I sold back. Wonder what incentives will look like by August if things don't change?

    Not this month, Ford reported a 4.2 percent drop in trucks. Only positive was in the SUV/Crossovers with a 1.2 percent increase.

    At this rate, I wouldn't be shocked if incentives keep piling up. Makes me wish I had a little bit more money so I could take advantage of it.

    I am enjoying driving my Mini Cooper S, which is paid for and has been for several years. But it is almost 15 years old, I do need to do something.

    The Bolt was a blast to drive, sadly the wife cannot get over the white V design in the dash. So that is on hold waiting for version 2.0 as we both are not impressed with Tesla design or how low their auto's sit. The Model X was not impressive to us either except for the gullwing rear doors. Not enough to justify the price.

    lol the white V prevents a sale... sure...  ;)

     

    The irony is he will be buying an early production model of the Bolt at some point and doing a concourse restoration..and then towing it behind his 12 mile per gallon Escalade to shows.

    So... the delta between the two is more than double the total Mustang sales per month in China (average = 310).  Are Chinese sales of Mustang still something to tapdance about?

     

    I couldn't resist either.

    They sold 2 in Cambodia, which should substantially soften the blow.

    • The market for all coupes is stale. But this has outsold the Miata some months 
    • So as I mentioned in my Has it really been 25 years? post, I have an app I've been building.  It's called Apartmatic.  It is occupant first property management software.  What does that mean? Most property management software is geared to landlords and property managers that manage several to many units.  This software can do that of course, but what it also does is lets occupants manage their home maintenance, warranties for things they've purchased, keep receipts and other important documentation, keep track of repairs, and more.  You can scan the serial number barcode of your fridge into the software and it will look up the make and model for you AND look up parts like water filters, seals, shelves, handles and more.  It will give you the default manufacturer's recommended service interval for maintenance parts like filters, cleanouts, and more.  It will remind you when it's time to order parts and send you links to shopping sites that have them in stock.   You can use it to maintain ANYTHING in your home.  Have a slate roof? Those need service every so many years. Enter your favorite roofer's information in and it will give you a reminder and ask when you want to send the e-mail to schedule the service.  You can enter all your service vendors in.  Same goes for insurance. Track your insurance plans, extended warranties, keep an inventory of major purchases, have scans of the receipts, all stored in the app in case something happens. If you're a property manager, even more things become automatic. It can use prediction to warn you of when an appliance is nearing end of life.  It can automatically route issues to preferred vendors.  You can put jobs out to multiple vendors for bid and so much more. There is an entire listing to leasing to move-in workflow. Full payment and financial system, tax reporting, P&L reporting, unit turnover automation, and more. I've been building this thing from scratch, out of spite and frustration. No investors, just me being stubborn. If you want to help me out, sign up for the beta at https://www.apartmatic.com/beta and I'll send you the invite link as soon as it's open. It's free and always will be at the Home level. I don't need "looks great!", I need "this is confusing" and "why can't I do X" and "I clicked this and it broke."
    • Awesome change coming, so excited for C&G!!! Thank you Drew  
    • They over priced these, and the market seems pretty stale on the Z now.
