December 2014: General Motors Co.
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in 2014 Sales Archive
Working on Dealers is much needed, many have very old sales staff and the dealerships clearly look and show to be dated. GM needs to force the Cadillac dealerships to upgrade. -
December 2014: Mercedes-Benz USA
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in 2014 Sales Archive
I think what Dfelt is inelegantly saying (sorry) is that Mercedes is making great inroads into Buick's market (GLA/CLA), Chevy's market (SMART) and GMC's market (Sprinter) but not so great at the core business that they're known for. Thank you Drew, I have always been told that I am a bull in a china shop and never the best at clearly stating the marketing / business case. You hit the nail on the head for me. Thank you for the clarification.- 22 replies

Cadillac is not perfect, yet with all the changes they have gone through over the last 4-6 years, they have come a long way in a short time and the most recent changes have not affected them as much as some people would like everyone to think. With 8 auto lines down double digits, saying MB is the worlds best and can not be faulted I have to raise the BS flag. You have 5 or 6 with my missed GLA sales that have double digit growth, then you have growth in the van and sub compact eco car area but over all MB is not perfect auto company many like to say. For all that GM has done since 2007, they have really made some impressive gains.- 22 replies

G. David Felt replied to GMTruckGuy74's topic in GMC Trucks
Why not just take the one they have but state they need to change out the rims / wheel combo that you do not like. -

In the case of Seattle, 65% of all CNG stations use BIO-CNG. Cows do make quality gas for use in auto's. So a Natural Green Fuel.

So I wonder how SMK justifies MB as being the best when they cannot even deliver double digit sales growth compared to GM. For the Month MB only has a 4.73% sales Growth For the year MB only has a 6.7% Negative Growth by model C Class -14.9% E Class -4.9% CL Class -53.6% SL Class -28.2% SLS Class -48.6% SLK Class -.04% CLS Class -13.1% R Class -73,3% GL Class -11.1% Positive sales B Class 780% CLA Class 93.9% S Class 90% M Class 13.1% G Class 23.9% GLK 7.5% Sprinter 18% Smart Car 12.8% More losses than gains and compared to Cadillac bigger looser.- 22 replies

I agree with Paolino, the regeneration should be maximized and you should not have the option to play with the settings also, I am not wowed with this sneak peak. I really hope it is better than what they have stated.

I still think all rust should be addressed on an auto and any springs poking through should be fixed. No duct tape for me.

WOW Mini had a .3 % sales increase. that is really catching fire. So these BMW #'s are really only on 2 products. Series 1/2 -30.1% loss Z4 -12% loss 5 -31.9% loss 6 -42.1% loss 7 -2.1% loss X1 -5.5% loss X3 -24.6% loss X6 -36.6% loss Guess all these German Driving machines must not really exist since they are all negative numbers. Series 3/4 16.3% Gain X5 212.2% Gain Total Sales gain of 1.1% on cars and 11.1% on SUV's so a total of 9.5% but these numbers are very missleading I would have to say that Germans Driving Machine is not Driving.

December 2014: Fiat-Chrysler Autos US LLC
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in 2014 Sales Archive
We'll I would say that Chrysler, Jeep, Ram are holding up Fiat. That 1% up tick I bet is accounting manipulation. I worry that Fiat will drag the rest down.- 2 replies

G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in 2014 Sales Archive
While I am not impressed with their design language or the interiors and all their auto's are just too small, I am happy that they are doing well and hitting the right not with the public.- 1 reply
