July two thousand seventeen Auto Sales: A Slow Slide, As Expected

H and-wringing and hype mark the two sides of the July auto sales coin, as they have pretty much since it became clear the U.S. market would embark to retrench a bit after the back-to-back 17.5-million-unit years of two thousand fifteen and 2016.

By midday, while compiling these numbers for your perusal, analysts were estimating July 2017`s seasonally adjusted annual rate was 16.8-million, with incentives down slightly for the month.

Of the top four automakers in the U.S., General Motors, Ford Motor Company and FiatChrysler all were down strenuously, while Toyota Motor Sales` numbers rose slightly. Toyota sold 7,787 more vehicles in July `17 than in July `16 to pass Ford as the second-largest automaker in the U.S. The Toyota RAV4`s sales were up by 9,122.

The Detroit automakers are facing growing inventories of unsold models, especially GM, which is stocking up on full-size pickup trucks in anticipation of having to shut down and retool for all-new two thousand nineteen Chevrolet Silverados and GMC Sierras.

Pickup truck profit margins are so high that the Detroit Three can make lots of money off them, even with aggressive incentives. And they help drive up average transaction prices (ATPs), especially as suburban cowboys proceed to buy nicely tooled models.

According to Kelly Blue Book/kbb.com`s Monthly Auto Sales Profile, released Tuesday morning, GM`s ATP for its four U.S. brands was $39,274 – tho’ down Two.Three percent from July `16, up 0.Four percent over June `17. Ford`s $38,445 was +Two.Four percent/-0.7 percent, and FiatChrysler`s $36,834 was $36,834, +Three.Five percent/-0.8 percent.

Toyota`s ATP (Toyota and Lexus) was just $31,217, -0.1 percent/-0.7 percent, American Honda`s (Honda and Acura) was $27,650, +1.6 percent/0.1 percent, KBB says, and Nissan North America`s (Nissan, Infiniti) ATP was $28,421, +Trio.Trio percent/+1 percent.

Having shed many brands and such labor costs as the United Auto Worker`s job bank, and pension and health care costs, the Detroit Three, especially GM, are in better form operating as stripped-down companies. Before it released falling sales data Tuesday morning, GM announced it had closed the sale of Opel and Vauxhall to PSA Group/Peugeot/Citroen. Its aim now is not to reclaim global sales leadership from Toyota and Volkswagen AG, but to remain profitable as it gets even smaller in anticipation of a transformation in the number of and manner in which we buy cars and trucks in the future.
