    And why GMs numbers are a little down (and why it's not a bad thing, unlike what certain people are trying to convey here).

     

    "Due to a planned reduction in rental deliveries, GM’s total sales of 227,825 were down slightly year over year. GM reduced daily rental deliveries by about 16,500 units, or 39 percent in February. GM grew its Commercial business in February for the 28th consecutive month."

     

    and 

     

    "As a result of lower rental deliveries, GM expects its fleet mix in 2016 to be about 20 percent of total sales, compared with a historical range of 22 to 24 percent. In 2015, GM reduced rental deliveries by about 50,000 units compared to 2014. In the first two months of 2016, rental deliveries are down about 30,000 units, compared to a year ago."

    I wonder how many V6 Mustangs made its way to rental lots?

    Before one down votes, one should read why I ask. Here is one reason why I ask.

    You will find just as many on Avis, Hertz, and Budget sites. It was well known when the new Stang came out, that the V6 was primarily for fleet and rentals. What is surprising to me, is a fair number on the Enterprise website are Eco-Boost models. 

     

    Note: There are quite a few Camaros on there too but they are all 2015/older generation models. This is a new generation Mustang we are talking about. It also has been well noted on the Sales Ticker thread that GM has steadily been decreasing the number of rental cars that sell while they increase their retail sales.

    I've had 2 Mustang convertibles personally in the last month... and my boss had one at the same time as me when we were both in Chicago.

    All of the Mustangs I've had and have seen have been Ecoboosts, not V6s.  In fact, they were really well loaded with heated/cooled seats Sync3 with Nav, etc.

    Why is Mazda down?

     

    They have crossovers... I mean, I guess people aren't buying their fuel-efficient cars as much, but their cars are gorgeous as well.

     

    They've lost 2 models (The 2 and the 5) and one model is in the middle of a change over (CX9).

     

    The rest is on the Mazda 6 which might need a refresh soon.

    I wonder the same thing.  The 3 and 6 are arguable the best sedan in their respective classes.  They have a couple small crossovers.  They need a CX-7 mid-size crossover in a bad way though, and the CX-9 is in transition.  But the 3 and 6 should sell better, I think Camry beat the Mazda 6 like 5 to 1 in sales, and the Mazda is a good product.

      Genesis News: Genesis debuts a Long Wheelbase G90 Black Edition

      By smk4565 · Posted

      Yep, BYD (and other Chinese brands) will take over Asia, Mexico, South America, etc were they need lower priced cars and they are making some inroads to Europe also.  And at the improvement rate of Chinese cars with all these 1,000+ hp, 400 mile range, charge in 5 minutes they will move into luxury and performance segments.  Which forces legacy auto into the middle and upper market in the US and Europe and I don't know if that is enough volume for them to survive, probably half will die after getting beat up by tariffs when BYD swoops in to pick up the pieces.

      Genesis News: Genesis debuts a Long Wheelbase G90 Black Edition

      Yup. If BYD's battery system tech is true with 100% charging in 5 minutes.   Pretty much everybody is toast. And it does not matter if the US and Canada tariff the crap out of BYD and Chinese EVs from their respective markets.  BYD is already in the process of flooding their EVs all OVER the planet.  Including Mexico.   And if Trump pisses off Canada even more with tariffs, forget about Canada banning Tesla from the Canadian market in retaliation, Canada might just  erase the 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs and will let   BYD flood our market too.   If GM  and FoMoCo Ontario plants close, BYD might be welcomed to use them.  China last week or two punished us with 100% tariffs on our porc and other food products that we sell to them.  Retaliatory. (where have  I heard that word before?)  Chinese importers will simply buy porc from other countries hurting our industry... If American tariffs on GM of Canada vehicles and FoMoCo Canada vehicles is still a go, our factories might close, but maybe if we let BYD flood our market, it will hurt GM and FoMoCo THAT much more.  And it doesnt matter actually, Trump's economic war with ALL of its allies will doom GM and FoMoCo anyway.

      Genesis News: Genesis debuts a Long Wheelbase G90 Black Edition

      By oldshurst442 · Posted

      Ive thought about it.  And there are literally no luxury sedans (the big ones) in this modern era of the 2020s (and to be more precise to use 2025) that I currently lust for.   Nothing from Bentley or Rolls Royce.  Nothing from Mercedes or BMW.  The Audi A8?  I dont like it.  I like the medium version of the A8. The A6.  Precisely, the RS6 Avant.   This.     Americans dont do sedans anymore.  OK...Cadillac has got the CT5.  But it aint a big cruiser sedan.  I do like the Black Wing V Series.   I dont lust after it anymore.  I got over it.

      Cadillac's EV's seem to be selling though and Genesis's are not.  The Lyriq is more GV80 sized the Optic is GV70 size.  I think Cadillac could still step up the interiors a bit and the Ultium platform cars are still a bit heavy compared to other EVs, but I think they have a better line up than Genesis.  And Cadillac will have an EV sedan or 2 to replace the CT4/CT5, although rumor is one is mid-size and the other full size. Either way, I was just reading about the BYD Yangwang U7, which is a full size sedan, interior looks on par to a Genesis G90 but it has 1,287 hp and costs $86,000.  And it charges at 500 kw, and BYD has 1,000 kw charging cars going on sale this year.  And the Yangwang U8 SUV also is a boat, which the Escalade IQ cannot drive across rivers.  All these guys are toast anyway.

      I saw a black regular wheelbase G90 at the post office recently.  It’s a sharp car. But I prefer the styling of my black CT6 parked a couple spaces over.   As far as current luxobarges, I like the Audi A8 styling over the other Germans.
