    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.

      Honda has been surprising with their Prologue as it is a huge seller here in the U.S. GM has come on strong, but I wonder if it will last without the Android Auto and AppleCar play support. I see Kia/Hyundai/Genesis taking a solid 2nd place for 2024 in EV sales. I think they could challenge Tesla next year even if they kill off the IRA which will require both House and Senate to approve and right now, this will affect a big chunk of RED states where EV and battery production is, so those house and senate members have already said that touching IRA is a bad thing. Going to be interesting. Germans are falling and Genesis as well as Cadillac has come on strong with Luxury. I honestly see no reason to spend the extra coin for the German brands over Cadillac or Genesis.

      I think Musk is so arrogant that he thinks Tesla doesn't need any tax breaks or government help (despite building his business on them) and that if all the tax credits go away, it will hurt the legacy OEM's selling EV's more than him.   But without that $7500 discount n Tesla's they look $10k more expensive than the ICE counterparts and once that value proposition is gone I think the sales grown crawls to a halt.  And Stellantis and Nissan may be a mess, but Toyota is a juggernaut, Hyundai/Kia have good momentum, GM is looking pretty strong again, Honda does their core products well and the Germans have the luxury market sewn up.  Tesla faces a lot of competitors who aren't just going to roll over.
