I'm talking about US sales. Plenty of brands are in one market but not another. In the US, kia & Dodge are in the same volume bracket. If Dodge's volume "isn't enough", the same argument can be made RE kia. And frankly, most consumers still consider 'Ram' a matter of semantics. If I bought a new Ram, I would ABSOLUTELY buy 'DODGE' badges from the last year the Ram wore them, and apply then on the truck.

OK, got that established (expecting to go over this next month... AGAIN). Now let's look at your claim further. Dodge Jan sales : 27,600 over 8 models / average per model: 3450 Kia Jan sales : 32,600 over 11 models / average per model: 3236 Should hyundai shut down kia?

See, that's what I say: exclusivity is a cornerstone of luxury. Once everyone has one (S-class), it's no longer special. If they could, MB would sell 20,000 S-classes a month and see absolutely nothing wrong with that.

You ALWAYS leave Ram out of this oft-repeated proclamation. What needs to go is fiat & alfa.

Wow, I believe I predicted "under 200" units for the A8, but it almost is under a hundred! Feb will be double digits. The US market for the A8 is dead.

Once again; BMW could take their 9 car models and pare them down to just 2. 7-series is swirling the drain, only holding back out of reference in allowing the A8 to go down first.

Wonder how much Daimler makes off licensing adhesive-backed 'AMG' letters- I see them on a LOT of non AMG mercedes (and a lot of non-mercedes). Might turn out to be as lucrative as Harley Davidson swag.

Looks like the SIlverado outsold the Equinox, Tahoe & Trax combined. You could argue Chevy could replace those 3 CUVs with 1 pickup, and it will probably happen.

What makes you think OH, Cubie? EDIT : googled the truck lettering... unless you knew 'Canal Fulton'.

You only see potential in ONE way, apparently.

Genesis News: Genesis Plans A Stand-Alone Dealer Network
balthazar replied to William Maley's topic in Genesis
There's really not a lot separating dealerships on a physical basis. If they from the same relative period in time, nissan to mercedes pretty much gives the same vibes/impressions, at least in my experience. The local MB dealer is a mega-brand dealer with a lot of add-on buildings; not particularly upscale. There aren't really any really dated dealerships in central Jersey that I can think of. -
dfelt, yer needle's stuck.

Genesis News: Genesis Plans A Stand-Alone Dealer Network
balthazar replied to William Maley's topic in Genesis
I guess as a household that buys new rather infrequently, I've never gotten the 'dealership experience' thing. Last time my wife bought new, the whole transaction took maybe an hour. I'd rather have a free wheel upgrade than pastries & mood music. Cadillac dealer by me was an Olds-Cad store on a back street since the '60s. Wife got her Intrigue there, dealer was quite dated, but again, the time spent there was inconsequential. They build a new building on a major highway & moved, but in '08-09 it closed. The local Ford-Linc/ Buick-GMC-Pontiac/ Chevy dealer bought them, and for a few years Cadillac & Chevy were in the same building, but a few years back they built a stand-alone Caddy store/service department. Haven't been in there yet. -
MT: 2018 CHEVROLET CAMARO SS 1LE VS. 2018 FORD MUSTANG GT PERFORMANCE PACK

Tesla Roadster is going to be the quickest car on the PLANET of Mars. -
I believe it was intended to be an Olds and was inked circa '68.

OK, what I found fascinating is that the pic showed a 1957 Chevrolet having impacted the 1946 Cadillac Interceptor concept. That GM was still doing anything with the at least 11 year old Interceptor that many years later. - - - - -
