Friday, August 1, 2008
Every brand and automaker sold fewer vehicles per day on average in July 2008 versus July 2007 except for Mercedes-Benz, MINI, Nissan and Nissan North America.
Of the major automakers, Chrysler LLC's average daily sales fell 34%. Chrysler’s 'Let’s Refuel America $2.99 Gas Guarantee' promotion didn’t seem to help much as the troubled American automaker reported (unadjusted) July U.S. sales of 98,109 units, which is a staggering 29 percent below the same period last year. From the few bright spots worth mentioning, the Chrysler Town & Country posted a 24% increase with 8,070 sales versus July 2007 sales of 6,513 units while the Dodge Avenger's sales were up 4%.
GM also reported today that its vehicle sales dropped 26.7% in July to 235,184. According to GM’s data, July’s car sales were down 2.1 percent to 105,335 while light truck sales fell 35.4 percent to 129,849. Beyond the negative headlines, GM saw the Chevrolet Malibu’s total sales go up 79 percent, the Chevy Aveo up 17 percent, the Cadillac CTS up 38 percent, the Saturn Aura op 24 percent and the Saturn Sky up 14 percent compared to last July.While for others, FoMoCo saw its DSR fall 21.5%, and even Toyota felt the pain to the tune of an -18.7%. Nissan North America did post positive numbers, but just barely at 0.12%.
However, Ford F-150 is back to being the best-selling vehicle in the U.S. with July sales of 44,289. Also, shortages in nickel-metal hydride batteries have once again kept Prius sales around 15,000 units/month, and though the Focus is selling well (up 26.2% so far this year), Toyota still sold twice as many units of the Corolla/Matrix last month (15,200 vs. 34,438).
