    i think we've hit a  plateau on annual sales rate.  I think the economy has frozen and probably has election jitters now too.

     

    Buick's jump, is it due to the envision?

    More to do with Enclave and Encore having their best July. Buick only moved 1,421 Envisions in July.

    The increase in Challenger's numbers is actually impressive to me. It's pretty old at this point and it's still churning out solid numbers. The development costs have to have been pair for years ago. All money just going into the pockets of FCA to build more Alfas... I'd like to see a new Chally out to push the Mustang and Camaro even more.

    There won't be a new Challenger ( and Charger ) for quite a few more years, 2020 at the earliest from what I've read.

    GM full size trucks-76,000

    Ford F series-64,000

    Big yikes!

    I would still take the Challenger over the other two any day of the week. Edited by surreal1272

    Even when you guys aren't at it you're still passive-aggressive.

     

    I think it is fair to point out specific tidbits of sales figures with one word personal reactions. As long as they're tied just to that specific model or line.

     

    How is one model line representative of the performance of an entire company, especially sales units?

     

    The performance here are shown in aggregate, the sum of many individual performances. And some of them follow an overall theme, and some just don't. 

     

    And don't fret over units as much either on an individual model basis, revenue is also measured in dollars and cents, and that matters too.

    Exactly the point of my post and I'm sorry for contributing that narrow BS by doing that. I'm man enough to admit it.

    Canadians purchased nearly 30,000 Ford and Lincoln vehicles last month, as Ford Motor Company of Canada, Ltd. sales were the best on record for the month of July and up 10 per cent from a year ago. For the fourth time this year, more than 13,000 Ford F-Series trucks were sold in a month, as F-Series set another monthly sales record.

     

    "Record sales in July further cements Ford as the number one automotive brand in Canada," said Dianne Craig, president and CEO, Ford of Canada. "Canadians continue to choose Ford vehicles over the competition, with strength across the lineup in July – from Ford Mustang, to Ford Escape, to another monthly sales record for Ford F-Series.”

     

    Lincoln posted its 11th consecutive month of sales growth, with sales up 8 per cent in July, led by sales of the Canadian-built Lincoln MKX, up 84 per cent.

    Just because:

    Ford's S550 chassis outsold the entire Alpha chassis.

    Mustang: 9565

    Camaro: 5520

    ATS: 2119

    CTS: 1313

    Total: 8952

    First of all, How is the CTS only selling 1313 units??? Without looking.. I have to believe the E Class and 5 Series are 2-4 times that, right? It was a plus month for the ATS! Good! I want more on the road so when I'm ready to buy, there are more to choose from.

    • Does anyone know of or have any experience with cardboard wardrobe boxes made for moving? The ones from Home Depot are not that good.  With the metal hanger rod extended across the top, it does not prevent torsion in the box and the folding side flap, which is meant to give you a look into the box, is flimsy ... and if you even put small things on top of this tall box, it tends to sink in. Someone out there has to have some good solid wardrobe boxes in their available inventory of moving supplies. Help and ideas, please ...
    • Some of these famous buildings are hideous, some are interesting with decent parts to them, and a rare few are really nice. The hideous ones include the newer architecture building at University of Washington, Wurster Hall (also architecture) at UC Berkeley, and perhaps the Salk Institute in San Diego.  These buildings are cold and soul sucking, so they're hard to be in.  They also come from a fairly ugly (on various levels) sixties and seventies granola period. One of these buildings would be a "hybrid" and it's fine.  That would be Campbell Hall (again ... architecture) at the University of Virginia, which is definitely brutalist reinforced concrete at the first taller level or two, with an exposed waffle slab at levels above you.  However, they soften it up by using brick on the upper floors' exterior, as well as lower floor to ceiling heights.  The one brutalist gem would have to be the main library at University of California San Diego.  They definitely did not do this to reduce costs because it's a complicated building.  However, it's probably a nice space to be inside because of the floor to ceiling windows all around. It's just that there was a wave of putting up these buildings on West Coast campuses, surrounded by eucalyptus or fir and hemlock, and it was usually at hippieish campuses and their atmospheres don't gel with me.
    • Happy Mother's Day to the mothers in our lives - family, friends, coworkers  She came to mind, so I looked for a gif on her.  She is originally from Buffalo!  Most people have doubles.  I don't think she does. Happy Sunday.
    • Having looked at all the images online, I have to say that the interior and exterior other than the color which I like is a let down and I would even say for a Luxury brand looks cheap.
    • Due to my tradeshow season, do not have the time till June to do any writeups, but Lexus has released their Luxury version 3 row SUV EV that Toyota released as the Highlander and Subaru also has. Clearly not connected to the ICE Spindale grill or as many of us called the Predator mouth. https://pressroom.lexus.com/all-electric-three-row-luxury-the-all-new-2027-lexus-tz/ The press release says 300 miles of range on Select Grade. Look at the fine print, this is a sea level level road, anything else is 250 to 280 miles of range. FAILURE Lexus / Toyota along with the 400V system.
