    FoMoCo beat GM in May.  During the year, GM outsold FoMoCo.

    The great news is that Buick is going like gangbusters.  Cadillac is doing very well too.  But why are Chevy and GMC down though?

    Are you sure?

    Ford + Lincoln = 241,126 sold

    GM = Chevy+GMC+Buick+Cadillac = 237,364

    Yup Ford beat GM by 3,762 auto's.

    Interesting when you look at the rebates:

    FORD F150 has a $5,150 rebate and Expedition has $7,000

    http://www.realcartips.com/ford-incentives/

    GM Trucks has $3,500 on Chevy full size truck and only $500 on GMC full size truck, full size SUVs are $1,500 on both Suburban and Yukon.

    http://www.realcartips.com/gm-incentives/

    End result is that the ATP is much higher on GM than Ford auto's.

    Amazing to see that other than the Fiesta that has Zero rebate, every auto Ford has is at least $2,000 plus or bigger to move metal. GM on the other hand has many that are below $1,000, either 500 or 750. Yes they do have some in the 4K range too.

    Chevy lacks crossovers, that is problem #1 there.  They need to get a crossover between Equinox and Traverse, and maybe one between Trax and Equinox.

    GMC also has just 2 crossovers, not sure if the new Terrain is on sale yet, if it isn't that could explain the problem there.

    Cadillac got outsold by Acura, ouch.

    I feel like I am living in an alternative universe where nothing much surprises me any more.

    Brutal numbers for Jeep and Hyundai.

    • 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. 
    • I saw one of these coincidentally today. Not the longwheel base obviously.  Its not out yet as I understand this article.  The regular one. I do not know what year it was, but it was this current gen.  In person, its massive as a vehicle.  Imposing.  But it looks odd.  Not very stately.  Awkward and dare I say goofy. The front end looks good on it. But every other angle on it is just...dated.  Side angle and especially the back end,  looks like a luxury vehicle that would have come out from an Eastern communist  block  country...20 years ago.    I was approaching it from the rear. It was in front of me in the right lane as I was in the left lane and I didnt notice it until I was approximately next to it from this angle.    Then the traffic stopped in both lanes and I was next to it side by side.  An older gentleman was driving it. In his 70s for sure. If not older.  And I was in disgust for the car.  The outgoing Town Car of 15 years ago or so was more elegant. Despite it being a car from 1998...    Then I realized Lincoln makes no more bigely sedans... Cadillac too, has stopped with the cruiser sedans.  At least for North America. I just googled to see what the Chinese CT6 looks like And I now realize that the Asian luxury market prefers their cruiser sedans to have these kinds of proprtions.  Its weird to my American car style eyes.   But the Caddy looks a LOT better than the Genesis G90. I prefer the previous American CT6.  Our own @Robert Hall's gen CT6 is a pretty American styled sedan.  But who am I to talk.  I drive an American styled for the American market Honda Accord.   It too, has these weird Asian style stylings. 
    • Optiq better than GV60? Possibly, but the GV60 has been out several years now and has a refresh coming. I'd place their interior quality on par with each other.  The GV60 is remarkably good and it's a shame it doesn't get more attention. The Genesis charges faster, the Cadillac has a longer range. Lyriq better than GV70EV? GV70 has a far far far better interior. Lyriq has a better range, but GV70 charges twice as fast, faster than a Tesla on a Tesla charger and at max speed on GM's own 350kw chargers. Genesis also doesn't force you into not using CarPlay. I think the win is the GV70. ?????? better than G80 EV?  Cadillac doesn't even make an EV sedan.... or even an ICE sedan in this size class. Genesis wins by default. 282 mile range plus the highest speed charging outside of Porsche. Vistiq better than ?????   Cadillac wins by default here, however we already know the GV90 is on the way. The Vistiq does have an excellent looking interior in photos, but I want to see it in person before I judge. All the GV90EV needs to do is match the top end GV80 to remain in the competition.  Plus, GV90 will have CarPlay, giving it the edge. Escalade IQ better than ????  Cadillac wins by default here because Genesis is unlikely to play in this size class.   Seems pretty evenly matched to me.
    • I found a Genesis dealer website advertising $378 for front brake pads and a Mercedes dealer advertising $299 for an S500.  They both use synthetic oil, both require premium fuel.  I doubt a G90 is any cheaper to maintain than a BMW or Mercedes.  I can appreciate that Genesis had their own styling language and tries to be different, but they don't have the performance of a German car, don't have the reliability/resale value proposition of a Lexus, I think Cadillac does EV's better than Genesis.  There are just too many getter choices.  Now if you specifically want a LWB chauffeur sedan and can't afford the Maybach, then this G90 is the only option, at least in the US, I don't know what all China has for this market.
