Fgts Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Some notes; -Malibu and Impala had positives with retail Impala nearly catching Malibu. -Cadillac up 5%, CT6 continues up nearly displacing XTS in sales while CTS was off just 1% and XT5 builds steam plus the Escalator continues to "shine". ATS is the best selling Caddy despite the beating in sales . Chinese take-out Envision sold nearly 1500 also with Cascada's 755. Trucks slightly down, SUVs solidly up and CUVs took a beating. http://gmauthority.com/blog/2016/07/general-motors-june-2016-sales-figures-numbers-results-united-states/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullynd Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Cascada's 755. Ha! Didn't even break 1k! Yep, it's a hit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) GM is to be applauded for focusing on the retail segment but I hope it's not pruning fleet sales too hard and missing easy revenue for the sake of chasing percentages. There's still good value in Daily rentals but not cars - Utilities are a much better proposition. and what the heck is going on with Camaro sales not even breaking 5K sales..

akirby Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Lincoln doesn't seem interested in a sales war. Production is constrained so they're going for higher ATPs with less rebates and that will translate to lower sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blwnsmoke Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Reading at gmi there were some comments (paraphrasing) that the low sales are fine because GM expected it due to increased ATPs. However from what I read, 50% of the Mustang sales with an average 1.5% increase in ATP does not sound like good news. Let's give up 4,000 Camero sales for an extra $500 in profit per sale.

Looking at Chevrolet national dealer stock, there's a lot of 2SS and only a handful of 1SS and GM seems to be pushing 2LT over 1LT - great for ATPs but I don't think customers like the prices. Quite honestly, I think Chevrolet has an issue with Camaro 3.0T versus 3.6V6 as well as price strategy, I think the poor old customer has a lot of choices but all of them are much more expensive than they expect.

Production is constrained so they're going for higher ATPs with less rebates and that will translate to lower sales. Listening to the sales call again and Mark LaNeve commented on Lincoln having a lot of momentum in coastal markets, with California, Florida, New jersey New York and Massachusetts accounting for around half of all Lincoln sales. When you think about that, Lincoln has a lot to potentially build on with other regional specific vehicles and that where possibly Navigator and Continental could be strong sellers cross more states.

The sales race between these two pseudo-luxury compact crossover vehicles should be an interesting one. It's a pretty impressive effort considering that the Envision is only being sold in high trim levels at the moment. I have to wonder though, will this hamper Cadillac's SR5 sales with the inevitable cross shopping of these vehicles? I'm thinking that both are priced around the $42K zone....could CT5 lose some entry level sales volume..

630land Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Lincoln should go after growing markets and let GM/FCA do all the heavy discounts - leading to poor resale values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) MKC? Nice try. Envision has been panned for cheap materials even saying the Edge has a nicer interior. Edited July 6, 2016 by akirby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree; post #14 was meant as a joke but I failed to add the smiley. It's fixed now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
