Car Sales Continue Hot Streak, but Market Shows Signs of Cooling

U.S. car sales continued at a blistering pace in the second quarter but showed some signs of slowing in June, as the number of vehicles on dealership lots continues to dwindle.

General Motors Co. reported a nearly 40% increase in vehicle sales for the second quarter compared with the same period a year ago. The Detroit auto maker’s sales were also up compared with the first quarter, but less so, rising 10% over that period. Sales for Stellantis NV increased 32% in the second quarter, compared with the April-to-June period a year ago. The Jeep brand owner’s growth from the first quarter was more modest, up 3% in the second quarter compared with the first three months of the year.

Volkswagen AG reported its best first-half U.S. sales in nearly a half-century while managing tight supplies. The company now has about 32,000 vehicles in inventory while aiming to sell around 30,000 vehicles a month, said Scott Keogh, chief executive of Volkswagen’s North American subsidiary.

The decline of the USA continues. Now it can no longer build cars.

Tomorrow they say Biden's economy is doing well. 🥴

I find it hard to understand why we emphasize company sales performance year-over-year rather than as part of the industry aggregate yoy. It’s great $GM saw a 40% jump in sales yoy... but we were all locked down a year ago. I want to know if they gained market share.

A direct result of allowing asia to copy cat American made cars while g.m. diversifies investments as of competition more like monopolization

He told me to get a car that is good on gas when that time comes.
