	  November 2019: Mercedes-Benz USAG. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Sales Figure Ticker Good come back from months of loosing sales, but the car business is dying faster than you can say Holy Batman!

	I bet you could still get a decent buzz on those lips now! Imagine putting in a modern power train package from GM Performance crate systems. That would makes these cars fly!
- 
	Commuter car supreme now!

	Awesome 3 Amigo's! @Drew Dowdell Is that a Trumpet I see in the background? If so, what brand and who plays? Grew up playing trumpet and piano focused on Jazz all the way till college. Then my daughter took the trumpet and piano over.

	  Sales: November 2019 Sales Figure TickerG. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Sales Figure Ticker Really you have solid hard facts to back this up before the company actually releases their sales numbers?

	  Sales: November 2019 Sales Figure TickerG. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Sales Figure Ticker Be interesting to see MB reported numbers compared to BMW. If they are down again, as they have been doing pretty much all year, I would say they are in a slump and needs some major mojo change to get going again.

	  November 2019: Mazda North AmericaG. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Sales Figure Ticker I wonder how long Mazda will be able to stay independent before having to merge with someone? ?
- 
	OUCH, someone needs to pressure wash the mold off their line up and get some style mojo back into it.

	  November 2019: Hyundai Motor AmericaG. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Sales Figure Ticker Solid sales year and yet their CUV sales are up and car sales are down but only a little. Not surprised since not much choices from the American auto companies.
- 
	Solid sales, but seems to be following everyone else with car sales down, CUV sales up.
- 
	  November 2019: Genesis Motor AmericaG. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Sales Figure Ticker Nice solid sales gain. The wife saw one of the sedans, not sure which model but she thought it was an aston martin due to the wings of the logo. She liked the looks.

	Seems the April 2020 New York Auto show will be missing two of the biggest German makers, Mercedes-Benz and BMW are going alternative ways to show off their new product launches and reach out to potential customers. https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/mercedes-benz-new-york-auto-show/ Detroit, Chicago and now New York MB will not be at, they state that BMW has nixed this upcoming NY auto show too. The only question is the late fall LA auto show, will Mercedes-Benz show up there or not?

	Seems FCA has joined up with Faraday Future to produce a Jeep Renegade 4x4e. https://electrek.co/2019/12/02/strange-bedfellows-fiat-chrysler-and-faraday-future-working-together-on-electric-vehicles/ Interesting question to ponder, how much more empty assembly plants will North America have by 2025 with the growth of EV startups? ? Lucid finally has financing as they start actual construction on their huge $700 million dollar factory in Arizona. https://electrek.co/2019/12/02/lucid-first-image-ev-factory/ With a secure $1 billion from Saudi Arabia, they seem to have the money to move forward with building their wicked fast 4 door sedan.

	Based on info captured by other reporting outfits, Ford is planning on 50,000 Mach e a year to begin and then ramps from there as batteries become more available. That makes it 4,166 plus per month. Would for sure kill all the others in sales if they hit this for the first year. OK, some clarity, sales of the Mach e goes on first in the US and Europe with a split of about 25,000 to Europe and 25,000 to the US. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1126230_how-many-mustang-mach-e-electric-suvs-will-ford-build-we-ve-got-numbers We now know where the electrics will be built in their new contract.

	Very cool conversion. We will get a new EV microbus in 2021 as a 2022 model and yet VW supplied a very clean old VW Microbus to EV West https://evwest.com/catalog/ which is well known for their EV conversions and they even kept the manual shifter for those wanting to row but gave a all original interior with an EV power train. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1126223_vw-project-e-bus-electric-microbus-builds-buzz-with-e-golf-transplant
