NX is moving to 4k per month supply (from 3k) but only in 2-3 months from now, not yet... so it is going to be in short supply for a while in the future... most world markets report now NX being half of their sales.

Wow at Mercedes and especially Lexus. Both easily outpaced BMW to start the year. Lexus seems do be doing phenomenal.
Also good job to Acura, best month since 2007 and reclaiming their sales advantage over Audi. The new ILX should help even more. The RLX on the other hand has been a complete failure again. They need to rethink their flagship. Bring down the price or change up the formula.

Hyundai
Hyundai Motor America today reported its best January in company history, selling 44,505 units for the month, up one percent versus the same period last year. This is the seventh consecutive year of increased sales during the month of January.
“With consumer confidence at a seven year high and gasoline and energy prices on the decline, more car buyers will be heading into the dealerships in 2015,” said Bob Pradzinski, vice president, national sales. “Consumers are doing their homework - making sound, educated purchasing decisions – and looking for vehicles that equate to ‘more for less’. The search for value was one of the key drivers of Hyundai’s record setting January sales success as high-performing, quality vehicles such as Genesis, Sonata and Santa Fe continue to offer consumers unprecedented values.”
The all-new award-winning Genesis sedan, now available with Hyundai’s HTRAC AWD system, saw sales gains in the mid-west and eastern part of the country in January, as the snow piled up. Genesis sedan sales were up 76 percent for the month, resulting in Genesis’ best January. Sonata, our mid-size sedan was up 26 percent and Santa Fe, Hyundai’s CUV, was up 15 percent.

Kia
Kia Motors America’s (KMA) record-setting momentum carried into 2015 with best-ever January sales of 38,299 vehicles, up 3.5 percent over the same period last year. Kia’s strong start was led by the U.S.-built* Optima and the iconic Soul urban passenger vehicle, and coincided with the arrival of the more capable and refined third generation of the popular U.S.-built* Sorento CUV.
“Yahoo called Kia one of the ‘hottest brands’ in the industry in early January, and as economic conditions continue to improve, our record-setting January performance proved them right as more and more customers entered the market and considered Kia for the first time,” said Michael Sprague, executive vice president, sales & marketing, KMA. “Kia has one of the youngest and best-looking lineups in the business, including the completely redesigned Sedona, which brings unmatched styling and amenities to the segment and sold nearly four times as many units as the outgoing model did in January 2014.”
To announce the arrival of the all-new 2016 Sorento, KMA aired a 60-second spot titled “Perfect Getaway” in the third quarter of Super Bowl XLIX, which replaced the usual action movie mayhem with the Sorento’s capability to handle any adventure-seeker’s lifestyle. A phased rollout of the multi-platform marketing campaign will incorporate TV, cinema, digital and social media.

The Honda Fit is a huge hit. I feel like it will break 10,000 sales in the next year or so. The review that said it's a car that feels like a low 20s, yet is in the 17-18k range hit it on the spot. Availability from the plant in Mexico was also good planning by Honda.
