    Keep in mind that in some models, the TDi trim was 30% of sales.  Jetta, Golf, and Passat were three of the top sellers that sold about that rate in the past and now 30% of that volume is essentially gone.  Jetta and Passat are the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd best sellers in the VW lineup.... so that is a huge chunk of their biggest sellers.

    Just drove by VW of University in Seattle and they have a ton of auto's on their lots 200+, so checked their web site and they list only 136 available for sale. Quick call to the dealership and the sales person said that they had almost 100 diesels that are just sitting till they can be repaired and unable to be sold.

     

    Based on that, I would say that VW is going to be hurting a long time as product sits, trust is shattered and people are not buying from them. Bet December gets ugly.

     

    So locally VW is offering 0 down, 0 first and second month payments. $1500 owner loyalty and .9% for 72 months. You can also get $1000 if you trade in a competitor car. Free oil changes for life and free loaner auto on service. Pretty amazing as they are also showing pricing reductions of 3-5K depending on model. So they are spending some cash to try and keep sales going.

    VW with all those diesels they can't sell is going to keep them down a while.  Plus you probably had people buy it because it was diesel and not VW, so those buyers may just look elsewhere all together.  

     

    This month shows how people want crossovers.  That is bad news for brands like Dodge and Chrysler.  You don't really need 2 sedan brands when a brand like Jeep is up 20%.  Land Rover and Volvo up a ton because of new crossovers in their lineup.

    It's a great time to buy a GTI if that's your kinda ride. Wonder if the incentives apply across the board?

    Hell, that's probably the ONLY exception to their incentives because it's the only vehicle worth buying from VW. Lol

    At least here in the Seattle market the incentives do apply to all the products including the GTI, the only change on the GTI is that the auto loan is a 1.9% interest for 60 months versus .9% for 72 months on everything else. 

     

    Kinda weird, not sure why this one is different but it clearly is stated on the web pages for the VW dealers here.

    A correction is needed.

     

    Lincoln - Down 2.4% (7,918 Vehicles Sold This Month, 303,221 Vehicles Sold So Far This Year)

     

    That should be more like around 90,000 sold this year (90,367 to be exact) or else Lincoln suffered the largest month over sales drop in the history of sales drops. :scared:

    I just noticed the GMC Sierra was down over 26%

     

    I wonder why the huge drop? 

     

    Typically when you see one of these large one-off 1 months drops is that the same month in the prior year had some unusually high sales activity.

    In this case, the Sierra seems to be returning to norm after some large sale going on in November 2014  (Think both GM and RAM pulled out all the stops on incentives at the end of the year last year to kick the F-150 while it was first being released)

     

    Nov 2012 - 11,726

    Nov 2013 -  14,362

    Nov 2014 - 22,554

    Nov 2015 - 16,527

     

    and sales are up over 4% for the year on Sierra.

     

    The long term growth trend is still positive.

    Your " incentive " explanation makes sense.

    Lincoln sold 90,367 vehicles....so far, not for the year.

    Lincoln is also at around +9% for the year...so far.

    Thanks

    What happened to Buick.

    Wow.

    Big hit.

    No need to be pedantic. We all knew that he meant "so far this year". We will report full year percentages in January.

    Buick's sedans are all at the end of their cycles and are being replaced.

      Having been to Mexico, I can say that Mexican food in Mexico is better than almost any Mexican food you will eat in the USA. Good. I love this, can't happen to more deserving folks.  Time for Tesla to drive off into the history books and rest in peace with Tucker, Saturn, Studebaker, and Whippet. Will be interesting to see which direction you go next. I always loved that building. My wife worked for a few summers in Philly when we were dating...was always happy to visit Philadelphia for a number of reasons. It is gorgeous
