Agree with you on the Plane comments. The Viaduct is gone, that portion is all done, the Tunnel is only 2 lanes in both directions as there is no Mid City exits like the Viaduct had, so reduced traffic and yet from my office window you can see it is slow craw through the tunnel. They should have built two tunnels with 3 lanes in each direction and 1 for HOV. But politicians are stupid and do not think that far in the future or future planning based on a city's growth, so while no payment has been made yet, it is already needing to be replaced with a bigger road. ? Where the Viaduct used to stand will now be parking for some areas, park area for others and this will be done over the next 1 1/2 years as they also remodel and update the waterfront.

September 2019: Kia Motors
Month to month is meaningless by a single month until you look at it over time and see the trends. Then that pattern shows the direction the industry / company is heading.

Yes for the year, but across the board sales are dropping off and in some cases big time. Be interesting to watch this over the last few month of the year.

For those that like Big Machinery, Seattle has open their new Under ground Alaska way freeway that replaced our Viaduct. This movie was assembled by the WSDOT and shows in speeded mode the removal of the Viaduct and reconnecting the city with the waterfront. You will see the Dell Technology building I work in at 4:55 in the video. This is the South end removal of the Viaduct that is only inches away from buildings.

Glad to see that VW sales in SUV category is going up while cars sales are tanking. At least something is working for them after Dieselgate.

September 2019: Toyota Motor North America
Nice Hybrid Sales being up big time, but even a company like Toyota that is down tells me we are going into a recession.

September 2019: Subaru of America
I am honestly surprised that they are down that much for the month, but still on a positive growth for the year. For some reason thought they would have done better.

September 2019: Infiniti USA
OUCH, Guess folks are not happy with Infiniti as being down 35.4% for car sales and 46.9% for CUV/SUV sales is not a small thing.
