Meanwhile, starting around 3:16 of
http://nbr.com/2016/05/03/nightly-busin ... -3-2016-2/, they mention red hot sales of the Ford F-150 truck, Chevy Silverado and SUVs.
Per
http://nissannews.com/en-US/nissan/usa/ ... -u-s-sales, US Leaf sales are down 49.3% vs. the same period last year and down 34.1% YTD. Total Nissan group sales are up 12.8% vs. same month last year and up 9.8% CYTD.
I am a bit surprised that per
http://insideevs.com/monthly-plug-in-sales-scorecard/, Volt sales are still so strong, given that CA green HOV stickers are gone. I guess they're still wanted in general and/or outside CA.
http://www.latimes.com/business/autos/l ... story.html says stuff like
"Amererica's love of trucks and SUVs helped push the auto industry to its best April ever, with most automakers reporting healthy increases.
...
Honda and Nissan set April records, Ford posted record SUV sales and Toyota sold more trucks and SUVs than ever.
...
Ford Motor Co. said it sold more than 65,000 SUVs, the best April in company history, led by the Explorer with a 22% increase. At Nissan Motor Co., cars and SUVs pushed sales up. Fiat Chrysler was led by a 17% increase in sales of Jeep SUVs. It was FCA US' best April since 2005."
Sigh...
