November 2009 Vehicles Sales
November U.S. car sales could signal hopes for rebound

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- The automobile manufacturers will post November U.S. sales results Tuesday, and, while the month is traditionally one of the worst of the year, there could be some signs this time around that the industry is on the mend.
In fact, a stable retail environment and improved fleet business is expected to bring the seasonally adjusted annualized sales rate (SAAR) up to 10.2 million from 10.1 million a year ago, according to J.D. Power and Associates.
There were two more selling days in November 2008, so, if left unadjusted, the total number of cars and trucks sold is still expected to decline from a year ago. The two-day difference would account for about an 8% drop in this year's results.
"As expected, the recovery has been slow, but is progressing," J.D. Power analyst Jeff Schuster said. "Transaction prices are at their highest levels in years, indicating a healthier close for the fourth quarter."
Despite the silver lining, a recent Edmunds.com survey showed only Hyundai Motor Co. /quotes/comstock/11i!hymlf (HYMLF 66.60, -66.60, -50.00%) as expected to report year-over-year gains on an unadjusted basis.
Ford Motor Co. /quotes/comstock/13*!f/quotes/nls/f (F 8.86, +0.13, +1.49%) is seen as the best-performing U.S. car company, with only a fractional decline for November. Ford continues to reap the benefits of a strong lineup of new cars and trucks as well as the goodwill it earned from avoiding bankruptcy and declining a federal bailout.
Chrysler, on the other hand, will like show its monthly sales numbers cut by a third from a year earlier as the struggling company works to overhaul its operations and bring out new models under its partnership with Italy's Fiat.
General Motors is expected to show a 1.3% decline from a year earlier.
"November is living up to its reputation for being one of the worst months of the year for car sales," Edmunds.com analyst Jessica Caldwell said.
But if the numbers do come in ahead of last year's results on a sales-rate basis, as expected, it would mark the only month of improvements this year, aside from the cash-for-clunkers anomaly.
Vehicles flew off the lots in August when the government offered as much as $4,500 for buyers trading in their "clunkers" for newer, more-fuel-efficient cars and trucks.
Still, some analysts are looking for sluggish sales to persist well into next year. Mark Oline of Fitch Ratings said earlier this week that he expects light-vehicle sales to reach 11.1 million cars and trucks next year, up slightly from 2009.
"Factors precluding a stronger bounce from trough levels include high unemployment, pressured consumer discretionary spending, the lost wealth effect from lower housing prices and a higher savings rate," he said.
Oline added that a spike in gas prices or another downturn in the economy could again stymie the industry's rebound.

TrueCar Forecasts November 2009 Auto Sales
Recovery in Progress, Slow and Steady
SANTA MONICA, CA--(Marketwire - November 24, 2009) - TrueCar, the authority on new car pricing, forecasted today that November 2009 light vehicle sales (including fleet) in U.S. will be 749,560 units, down 11% from October and up a fraction from this time last year (on an unadjusted basis). November's forecast translates into a SAAR level of 10.9 million units.
"The industry is struggling to break out of the 11 million SAAR range. The good news is that we now have two consecutive months of stable sales without Cash for Clunkers or heavy incentives spending by the manufacturers. This indicates that the fundamental consumer demand is solid and the worst is over," said Jesse Toprak, Vice President of Industry Trends at TrueCar. "We anticipate the recovery in 2010 to be somewhat slower than earlier forecasts with total sales of around 11.4 million units."
TrueCar offers a comprehensive forecast that also goes deeper into the numbers, looking at unit sales and market share by manufacturer, but also shows market share by origin and sales down to the brand level.
TrueCar bases its forecast on actual transaction data that cover over 40% of all sales in the U.S. The transaction data based forecast is refined by other current and historical factors that impact vehicle sales including: sales, inventory, incentives, fuel prices, and macro economic data (major stock market indexes, consumer confidence, new home starts, and CPI). TrueCar does not adjust for selling days in year-over-year percentage change calculations.

Toyota, Honda Lead Increase in Japan
By Makiko Kitamura
Dec. 1 (Bloomberg) -- Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co., Japan’s two biggest automakers, led the fourth straight increase in the nation’s monthly auto sales as government incentives boosted demand.By Makiko Kitamura
Sales of cars, trucks and buses, excluding minicars, rose 36 percent to 293,410 vehicles in November from a year earlier, the Japan Automobile Dealers Association said in a statement today. Toyota sold 147,513 units, excluding Lexus-brand cars, up 39 percent.
Japan’s auto sales have recovered since August on government subsidies for fuel-efficient vehicles such as Toyota’s Prius and Honda’s Insight hybrid cars. The comparison with last year is also favorable because consumer spending plummeted following the September 2008 bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.
“Sales last year fell at increasingly faster rates after Lehman collapsed in September, so the year-on-year comparisons will continue to be very positive,” said Yoshiaki Kawano, a Tokyo-based analyst at auto consulting company CSM Worldwide. “Carmakers are also focusing their efforts on expanding their lineup of models eligible for the incentive programs” in Japan.
November sales jumped 73 percent at Honda, while Nissan Motor Co., the nation’s third-largest automaker, sold 33 percent more vehicles.
Subsidies
Under a Japanese government program started in June, consumers can apply for a 250,000 yen ($2,800) subsidy if they scrap a car more than 13 years old to buy a new one, and 100,000 yen for a new car purchased without scrapping an old one. The subsidies are available retroactively for purchases from April 10.
While the program is due to expire at the end of March, it’s likely that it will be extended for an extra six months, Kawano said.
The government expects incentives to lead to the sale of an additional 690,000 vehicles this fiscal year. Electric, hybrid, natural-gas, and some diesel vehicles also qualify for an exemption from the country’s weight and purchase taxes.
Domestic sales this fiscal year may still be the worst in three decades as Japan struggles to emerge from a recession. Wages fell for a 17th straight month in October, and the unemployment rate, while falling from July’s postwar high of 5.7 percent, remains at 5.1 percent.
The Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association predicts domestic industrywide sales will drop 8.5 percent to 4.3 million vehicles in the year ending March 31.
U.S. auto sales may rise in November from a year earlier for the second month in 2009. The annual rate will be 10.5 million cars and light trucks when adjusted for two fewer sales days in November 2009 compared with last year, according to the average estimate of seven analysts in a Bloomberg survey. That would be up from 10.17 million in November 2008, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

GM's China Sales
GM Sees China Market Sales Growth Slowing
Corrects headline, second bullet point, first and second paragraphs to clarify the 10-15 percent sales growth forecast for 2010 is for the overall China market, not for GM's sales

Corrects headline, second bullet point, first and second paragraphs to clarify the 10-15 percent sales growth forecast for 2010 is for the overall China market, not for GM's sales
By Alison Leung
GUANGZHOU (Reuters) - General Motors (GM.UL) expects sales growth for China's auto market to drop dramatically in 2010, as the carmaker nears the end of a year of government stimulus-fueled growth in the world's biggest car market, the head of the company's China operations said on Monday.
The company expects its China sales to rise 50 percent in 2009 but expects the overall market to grow only 10 to 15 percent in 2010, Kevin Wale, president of GM's China operations, told Reuters in an interview on the sidelines of the Guangzhou Autoshow.
"We've been changing the full-year forecast every month," said Wale, referring to the automaker's 2009 forecast.
China's auto market has been a major bright spot this year thanks to a raft of government incentives, including aggressive cuts in sales taxes on small cars, which will expire by the end of the year.
General Motors' China vehicle sales in October more than doubled from a year earlier to 166,911. The Detroit carmaker and joint ventures sold a total of 1.5 million vehicles in China from January to November.
Separately, the company is considering whether to increase its investments in Association of Southeast Asian Nations countries and in India, said Wale.
"We are looking to increase our performance in ASEAN and India as they are big markets and we don't have a lot of share there yet," he said. "So that's a big focus for us."
Wale said last month the U.S. automaker aims to grow faster than the overall China market next year as he believed Beijing will come up with additional steps to support the industry.
The company will continue to invest heavily in the country, said Wale. "We spend about a billion dollars a year (in China). We have been for the past two years and we expect to do that as we go forward."
Those investments will include new products, new capacity and R&D. General Motors, which competes with Volkswagen AG (VOWG.DE) and others, planned to roll out 30 new or revamped models in China from 2009 to 2014, including 10 Buick and Chevrolet models due for launch this year and next.
Shanghai GM, its flagship car venture with SAIC Motor Corp (600104.SS), sold 548,707 vehicles in the first 10 months, up 46.5 percent.
SAIC-GM-Wuling, GM's commercial vehicle tie-up with SAIC and Liuzhou Wuling Automobile, sold 891,285 vehicles in the country in the first 10 months, up 65.9 percent.
It also has a tie-up with FAW Group called FAW-GM Light Duty Commercial Vehicle Co.

"The Ford plan is working, led by the strength of our product lineup and customer demand for our new cars, utilities and trucks," said Czubay. "Consumers increasingly are noticing that the Ford difference is our great products, our strong business and our leadership in quality, fuel efficiency, safety, smart technologies and value."
November Sales Highlights
All-new Ford Taurus sales totaled 4,669, up 54 percent versus a year ago. Dealers reported retail sales were nearly double year-ago levels.
Ford Fusion, recently named Motor Trend magazine's Car of the Year, also posted a sales increase of 54 percent versus year-ago levels. In early November, Fusion set a new full-year sales record. With November results now complete, Fusion year-to-date 2009 sales total 161,819. The previous full-year record, set in 2007, was 149,552.
Other Ford, Lincoln and Mercury cars posting increases included Ford Focus (up 24 percent) and Mercury Milan (up 40 percent).
Crossover utilities also posted strong sales increases: Ford Escape was up 51 percent and set a new November sales record; Ford Edge up 27 percent; Mercury Mariner up 5 percent. In addition, sales of the all-new Lincoln MKT crossover totaled 648, its highest sales month to date.
Ford's new EcoBoost engine technology and hybrid vehicles are winning customers, too. For example, the conquest rate for the Taurus SHO is 60 percent. EcoBoost provides customers up to 20 percent improvement in fuel economy and a 15 percent reduction in emissions versus larger-displacement engines. EcoBoost is standard on the Taurus SHO and available on the Ford Flex, Lincoln MKS and Lincoln MKT.
Sales of hybrid vehicles totaled 2,361, up 73 percent versus a year ago. Ford hybrid models include the Ford Fusion, Ford Escape, Mercury Milan and Mercury Mariner.
Ford Fiesta
The all-new Fiesta - which debuts Wednesday at the Los Angeles International Auto Show - will further grow Ford's car lineup. This new entry in the U.S. - available in four- and five-door body styles - will set a new small car benchmark for fuel economy, safety, connectivity and powertrain technology in its segment.
North American Production
Ford plans to build 550,000 vehicles in the first quarter 2010, an increase of 201,000 units (58 percent) compared with the first quarter 2009.
Ford's fourth quarter production plan is unchanged from the previous forecast of 570,000 vehicles.

Subaru of America Announces 24-Percent Increase in November Sales
- November YTD Sales Surpass 2008 Full Year Sales -
- Company Predicts New Record for Full-Year 2009 Sales -
Download image CHERRY HILL, N.J., Dec. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Subaru of America, Inc. today announced an increase in November sales of 24 percent with 16,988 units sold. November 2009 represents the best November monthly total in Subaru of America's history and the fifth record month out of the last six.
The November sales results mean that SOA has already overtaken its full year 2008 sales and the company has predicted that it will set a new sales record for the 2009 calendar year, to beat the 200,703 sales record set in 2006. Sales for the 2010 Subaru Legacy and Outback models have each set November records with 2,802 units sold and 6,505 units sold respectively.
"November held a lot of good news for the Subaru brand. Not only did we set another monthly sales record, but we have also surpassed last years' total sales," said Tim Colbeck, senior vice president of sales, Subaru of America, Inc. "Additionally, last month the IIHS announced that Subaru was the only brand to receive 'Top Safety Pick' status in every segment it competes. Thanks to our strong products and continued accolades, our sales momentum is strong and I am confident that Subaru will achieve an all-time sales record for 2009."
"The continued sales success that Subaru is enjoying, despite the weakness in the economy and auto industry, is a tribute to our retailers who believe in both the value Subaru vehicles represent and in our brand direction," said Thomas J. Doll, EVP and COO of Subaru of America, Inc. "Subaru has established monthly sales records in five of the last six months and our market share has been consistently above 2-percent. We cannot thank our retail partners enough for their outstanding sales efforts," Doll continued.

Hyundai Motor America Reports November 2009 Sales
Download image FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Dec. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai Motor America today announced November sales of 28,045 units, a 46 percent increase compared with November 2008. Calendar year-to-date, Hyundai sales are up 6.2 percent to a total of 401,267 through November. This marks the eleventh consecutive month of year-over-year gains in retail market share.
"While we have continued to deliver substantial year-over-year sales gains and sustained market share growth, we were, quite frankly, hoping that the economy and overall industry would have bounced back a bit more than we are seeing right now," said Dave Zuchowski, vice president of sales. "Looking ahead to December, we're confident we'll finish the year with market share at least a full percentage point above our record 3 percent share in 2008."
Hyundai remains uniquely positioned to grow in difficult market conditions with its strong value story, highest quality rating among non-luxury brands, and best fuel economy rating in the industry. The fuel-efficient Accent, Elantra and Sonata had significant sales increases of 93, 88 and 52 percent, respectively, versus 2008, while the Santa Fe once again delivered a solid sales gain up 53 percent over a year ago. Genesis continued its strong launch performance, with sales up 52 percent over last year.

Kia Motors America Announces November Sales
Sales Up 18.3 Percent Month Over Month and 7.8 Percent Year to Date
IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Kia Motors America (KMA) today announced November sales of 17,955 units, an 18.3-percent increase over the same month last year. Year to date sales totaled 279,015, a 7.8-percent increase over the same period last year. KMA's growing lineup of distinctly styled new vehicles - including Soul, Forte and Forte Koup - accounted for 36 percent of the monthly sales volume, a five-percent increase over the previous month. Overall, small car sales delivered more than 55 percent of November volume.
Kia Motors is in the midst of a dramatic, design-led transformation, which has been delivering dynamically styled vehicles in several important segments at exactly the right time contributing to the brand's continued gains in U.S. market share. The upcoming launch of the all-new 2011 Sorento CUV, the official vehicle of the NBA and the first vehicle to be built at the company's first U.S.-based manufacturing facilities in West Point, Georgia, will further enhance the lineup.

IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Kia Motors America (KMA) today announced November sales of 17,955 units, an 18.3-percent increase over the same month last year. Year to date sales totaled 279,015, a 7.8-percent increase over the same period last year. KMA's growing lineup of distinctly styled new vehicles - including Soul, Forte and Forte Koup - accounted for 36 percent of the monthly sales volume, a five-percent increase over the previous month. Overall, small car sales delivered more than 55 percent of November volume.
Kia Motors is in the midst of a dramatic, design-led transformation, which has been delivering dynamically styled vehicles in several important segments at exactly the right time contributing to the brand's continued gains in U.S. market share. The upcoming launch of the all-new 2011 Sorento CUV, the official vehicle of the NBA and the first vehicle to be built at the company's first U.S.-based manufacturing facilities in West Point, Georgia, will further enhance the lineup.

"For example, we estimate that housing starts will probably rise to about 600,000 to 650,000 by the end of 2010, which will have a positive effect on the economy and will also help support improvement in light-duty pickup truck sales."
U.S. Economy

Consumer confidence fell slightly in November, but remains much improved from the trough in February
Manufacturing sector is increasing output due to depleted current inventories
Job losses continue to slow, however employment levels continue to be a concern
Housing starts, new and existing home sales, and home prices are beginning to stabilize
U. S. Auto Industry

Industry inventory levels are anticipated to increase moderately through Q4 to support modestly rising industry sales
