Americans may choose priority vehicle fuel economy

Scott Burgess, commentators on the automotive industry has worked 12 years with 10 Detnews make comments on the automobile market in cats as follows:

If you see a car company executive said car sales in January, you will hear all the good things. Yes, this year has had a good start, but that is not all that filter report revenues from January to Autodata Corp. company.


Here are 10 things I think and know from the January sales figures.
1. Automobile market stronger. Certainly the sales per season (Saar) reached 12.6 million units, this number is high. But who knows this year will hit the economic momentum of improvement over this or that at the first turn. There are people keep buying cars and trucks, but sales last year could lower figure of 12 million.
Consumers prefer the more extensive are the vehicles gas mileage car.


When asked, consumers will respond to fuel economy is important, because that is what the media and their neighbors say. To the question if they want more fuel-efficient vehicles than not, they will answer yes. But, in fact, it's silly questions. Unanswered whether they like high fuel car? Their actions will be certified speech.

When we consider the data best-selling car, do not see a car brand that fuel efficiency is in the list 'top-selling'. Actually vehicle fuel economy is not the first choice of consumers. Sales of SUVs and light trucks jumped 28.5%, while passenger cars increased by only 7% said that.

Clearly, what people want is my neighbor drives a vehicle fuel economy and less polluting than vehicles of their own.

3. Crossovers and SUV sold very well. Honda CR-V and Civic are very high. CR-V sales increased 68.9% compared to last year. Ford Escape and Chevy Equinox 29.9% increased 35%. The other brand crossovers and SUVs is no less: Toyota RAV4 increased 41.8%, an increase of 48% GMC Terrain, Mazda CX7 increased 45.3%.
GM chassis Lamdas great success. Was 4 years since introducing GM Lamda framework, the foundation architecture of the Ford GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and Saturn Outlook Brand deceased. This is a crossover vehicle with 3 rows of seats, 7 seats, this car still expensive goods.

The group sold 18,675 vehicles in January, helped Lamdas become the 12th-selling brand in America. Lamda GM has sold more than Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz or BMW. While not a car in this group underwent a redesign, consumers are not interested in that. Reasons for success? This group is strictly appropriate to the vehicle user.

5.Toyota recovery. Americans are very tolerant. All the bad impression about the recall to fix unintended acceleration has fade away. Toyota sales rose 17.3% in January and Corolla and Camry became the best selling car in its segment. Automobile manufacturers cherry country has regained the style of the old.

But smaller trucks, not cars boost sales of the Toyota. Truck sales increased 35.3%, while passenger cars increased by only 5.9%. Only FJ Cruiser pick-up truck with sales down 10.7%. FJ Cruiser This is because only a fad, not really a truck, fortunately it did not stop production. Actually lead vehicle in the line of Toyota trucks are RAV4, Highlander and Sienna.

Toyota anybody out eliminate sights are foolish.

6. Cruze car will sell more Ford Focus in 2011. I do not remember in 2010, two brands which best-selling compact cars in America, but in 2011 was so.

Chevrolet Cruze 2011 and later Ford Focus 2012 will be the leading car. Many experts predict will be the 2012 Ford Focus transforming the area. But in 2011, the Cruze compact will take the title of the most popular car manufacturer in Detroit.

Here's why: the Cruze debuted in the fall, is it not released, it has been launched. Only in January Chevy Cruze has sold 13,631 units, Honda Accord for sale more. While the 9014 Ford Focus sold. Focus is currently not escape the influence of the previous generation, new start production plans new generation Focus. So pay the price for poor sales. Yes, the Focus has more style to attract young, but that's not enough to become the head.

Overall, the Cruze inexpensive. Moreover, I have heard many people say they like the new Focus, but choose to buy Focus Cruze because beauty is only temporary. Consumers do not want to buy more car than the personalities themselves.

At this point, Toyota Corolla car is simply the best-selling compact. Worse, Ford could lose customers Fiesta compact sports car of his, which also pay a fair price.

7. Small passenger demand increases again. Reason minivan sales rose 65.3% as each vehicle provided for customers today are made of a generous new. Chrysler Town & Country (almost completely refreshed.) Completely new Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna and Dodge Caravan are also completely new sales soared. Nissan all-new Quest also select the appropriate time is February-April is expected to increase demand - to market participants.

Those looking for family car freighter never have the opportunity to better choices and difficult decisions today.

8.Trong 4 months, Chevrolet Volt Tesla sold more cars in 3 years. 321 Volt is the car in January and 326 units in December. If properly planned in 2 and 3 times per month to 490 vehicles to customers, much of Tesla cars sold worldwide since 2008 until this March is estimated at 1627 vehicles.

Of course there is a gap in the prices of two vehicles, while it spent only $ 41,000 for a car for four passengers, one must pay $ 100,000 for a sports car all-electric two-seat . This may change as the Tesla Model S released next year and may sell 114 vehicles a month.

9. Track cars and trucks. Assessment data in January, has much mystery:

Chevrolet Camaro: the new car smell can still switch lead over Ford Mustang sales.

Ford Explorer sales up 73.1% from last year thanks to a redesigned car more beautiful. Will sales continue to rise?

Honda Civic: A new car will debut at the end of the year, August sales may be higher than the previous year. Can not underestimate the ability to attract customers of this car.

Fiat 500: the U.S. has been in 27 years, how this car could be set a new tone for the future of Chrysler, wait and see.

Hyundai Elantra: This is a candidate can bring many surprises in the compact car segment with lots of features, modest price and fuel economy lit/100 only 5.88 km when running on the highway. It could be formidable opponents on the track as Hyundai continues to campaign about it. Elanta data can lead sales in February does not? Think about this.

10. Truck helps restore the automobile industry sales. Perhaps this is what takes fun.

Chrysler has 83% of vehicles sold in January was a small truck. Even Toyota is also based on truck sales to recover.

Toyota's truck sales accounted for 45% of total sales. Ford and GM are similar, truck sales accounted for 67% of GM, and 63% of the total sales of Ford, mostly car pickup.

Trucks, pickup vehicles in particular are very sensitive to fuel price fluctuations. When the fear of rising gasoline prices will cause consumers turn away from buying new cars.

My Verdict: not assess the future profitability of the automotive industry. With sales figures around 12.6 million units in January, the figure is not sure.

Scott Burgess's analysis shows that the U.S. auto market may follow the trajectory outlined by the government: use of fuel-efficient vehicles, electric vehicles and alternative fuels to reduce dependence on gasoline, people Americans still prefer petrol car crash. This makes the U.S. auto industry and U.S. economy continues to be precarious when continued dependence on imported petroleum.

Another Rare Barn Find becomes a Project Car-Part 2

However, it seems over the years and he got a kick some tires, nobody was interested in Mercury in 1969. Before I discovered that it takes measures to re-list your ad. The new ads, though I bought the car, and this time the phone rings off the hook. He told me that even some of my colleagues from New Zealand, called him and want to buy a car!

Normally I would pull this nonsense as the seller wants to put pressure on the buyer. This time I'm not sure I told the man in New Zealand under the name Robert? There was a long pause on the other side of the phone and the salesman said that I believe! I could not believe it! I know that a car collector in New Zealand, and he tried to steal my car from under me. I told the seller to say "Robert" the next time he calls a car is sold.
I wanted to have fun, and an e-mail to my friend Robert in New Zealand and told him. "If you're a man trying to buy a car from Dan Gurney in Southern California to obtain from him I bought it"

I had more than clicking the Send button to e-mail and the phone rang. Yes, it was Robert!

We had a good laugh, and I know how good the car and if it is true. The answers were, it is more than what was announced, and it is very real.
What are the odds of two friends, one in Tennessee and one in New Zealand, ending almost the same car offered in Southern California, not knowing that? Heard you say. "Small world car" "It's a small world" Well, it is

For more information about this latest Find'll Barn gives you all the details and photos for a few days to learn. This large car is going to come back in all its 428 petrol SCJ glory and beauty. It is now our latest project car. Click here to visit and our other projects.

Help us Build a Rat Rod! (not a barn find; it came out of a pasture)

If you are a regular visitor to our website, you probably already guessed, we're biased, muscle cars, but I really like all 4-wheel drive. We own and manage: Corvette ZO6, first production 1969 Ford Talladega ever built, the 1965 Thunderbird Convertible 1959 El Camino custom resto-mod, and even AMX. We are the second, but you get the idea. One thing we do not like to fully Rat Rod, at least not yet.

We just dragged home a few rusty body. We sell and build another. One is missing and many parts of the body and the other is in much better shape, but not what most people think of as the Rat Rod. Because we wanted to live outside the box and not what most people, so the car we build.
We have some pictures of both cars, but if you guessed it we do, Ford 1946. For one thing, I've never seen it done as a Rat Rod, but if your pictures from one to send them our way!
We want your help!


We want ideas to help us and tell us how to build this car. I have a few mandatory guidelines and some others purely voluntary.
Let's begin!


1: This material is cheap to build. All of our money, but talking with other projects and we want it that way before the war rods out of fashion.

2: a result must be stable and safe to ride on the road. Rat Rod will be trailers for all events.

3: e We carefully considered for existing operators to S-10 Chevy frame. Simple and cheap, but I bet there are better ideas out there. What would you recommend?

4: e, we replace the Ford 390 and C6 transmission, which can be used.

5: e I love the old dirt track race car look, if we can get to work.
What are your suggestions?

Send your recommendations and photographs or drawings of Richard@LegendaryCollectorCars.com. We publish what I wanted to mock those who do not. Just kidding, no hurt feelings if we're printing their names on them. We publish photos and drawings, and gives full credit to any comments.
