What's up with the Avalon 944 units for the month? Its sales have been declining month after month but this is really low. I wouldn't think the recall problems would impact it this much in January.

2. Prices are lower.
3. New product offerings.
4. Perhaps the most logical reason, gas prices. People have realized that Subaru makes a capable vehicle that gets good mileage. Thus you don't need an 17 MPG Ford Explorer when you could have an H6 Outback that averages 22.

Hyundai Motor America Reports January 2010 Sales
Download image FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Feb. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai Motor America today announced January sales of 30,503 units, up 24 percent versus January 2009. This marks the thirteenth consecutive month of year-over-year retail market share gains for Hyundai and our best retail share performance since the government's "Cash-for-Clunkers" program in August 2009.
"While we were surprised and disappointed in the overall weakness of the industry in January, we are encouraged by our strong performance at both ends of the market spectrum. Our fuel-efficient Accent and Elantra entries were up 61 and 133 percent respectively, while our flagship Genesis recorded its best-ever retail segment share," said Dave Zuchowski, Hyundai Motor America's vice president of national sales.
"In addition, we are exceptionally well poised for the first quarter of 2010. The red-hot and completely redesigned 2010 Tucson hit dealer lots in January and recorded a 128 percent sales increase in its first month. Vehicle availability is rapidly improving to meet overwhelming consumer demand and, at the same time, we are introducing the all-new, game-changing Sonata to our expanding product lineup this week. Both vehicles deliver striking styling and an unprecedented combination of quality, performance and fuel economy at a very affordable price. We fully expect both vehicles to significantly bolster our sales momentum throughout 2010."
Sonata and Tucson represent the first two vehicles in a wave of new model launches which will introduce seven new models in a 24 month period. This new product blitz from Hyundai, called "24/7 Version 2.0" will usher in a new era of modern design for the Hyundai brand, while retaining its strong heritage of quality, safety, fuel efficiency, and value.
In January, Hyundai Assurance was also extended and enhanced for 2010. The trend-setting program, initiated in 2009, includes a vehicle return option for new-car buyers and is the most comprehensive consumer safety net for new-car buyers in the industry.

This marks the fifth time in the last six months that PCNA has recorded an increase in year-over-year sales.
“In this environment we are very pleased with the sales performance of our new Panamera, which continues to build up market share.”
January’s increase in sales comes amid a luxury car market that continues to be adversely affected by a lingering and very weak economic climate for high-end products.
“Even though we see a small ray of sunshine in consumer confidence, the luxury car segment remains challenging, especially for sports cars,” said Detlev von Platen, PCNA’s President and CEO. “In this environment we are very pleased with the sales performance of our new Panamera, which continues to build up market share.”
Porsche’s new four-door Panamera – which has only been on sales since October 17 – recorded sales of 534 units, while total Cayenne sales were 590, and sports car sales totaled 662.
For the month, Porsche’s Approved Certified Pre-Owned vehicle sales were 447, compared to 507 for the same month last year.

Fleet Sales
DETROIT -- Higher fleet volume drove January U.S. light-vehicle sales to a modest 6 percent gain over a deeply depressed market a year earlier.
The industry managed to move 698,990 units last month despite putting an average of $326 less on the hood and Toyota partially suspending sales at month end.
But within the industry's 6 percent sliver of growth, lots happened in January.
• Sales crashed 16 percent at Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. Inc., enough to push it out of the No. 2 spot.
• Ford Motor Co. rode the fleet sales bandwagon to a 25 percent gain -- and moved past Toyota by selling 17,481 more vehicles.
• Last year's bankruptcy twins got separated: Sales jumped 14 percent at General Motors Co. but sagged 8 percent at Chrysler Group.
• Nissan opened its incentive purse enough to boost volume 16 percent and muscle past Chrysler for the No. 5 position.
• January's seasonally adjusted annual sales rate was 10.5 million -- below December's SAAR of 11.9 million, when automakers used year-end incentives to help boost volume 15 percent.
Hobbled by suspended sales of eight recalled models in the last six days of the month, Toyota lost more volume than any auto group in January. Sales fell 19 percent for the Toyota brand, which had all the recalled models. The Lexus luxury brand, which wasn't targeted in the Jan. 21 recall, gained 5 percent last month.• Ford Motor Co. rode the fleet sales bandwagon to a 25 percent gain -- and moved past Toyota by selling 17,481 more vehicles.
• Last year's bankruptcy twins got separated: Sales jumped 14 percent at General Motors Co. but sagged 8 percent at Chrysler Group.
• Nissan opened its incentive purse enough to boost volume 16 percent and muscle past Chrysler for the No. 5 position.
• January's seasonally adjusted annual sales rate was 10.5 million -- below December's SAAR of 11.9 million, when automakers used year-end incentives to help boost volume 15 percent.
One key to January sales was a return to more normal levels of fleet sales. Enough commercial, government and daily rental fleet buyers returned to the market to boost GM fleet sales 32 percent, said analyst Himanshu Patel of JPMorgan in New York.
Ford's fleet sales jumped 154 percent from the depressed levels of January 2009 to account for 37 percent of the automaker's January volume. That was enough to overcome a 5 percent decline in retail sales, said George Pipas, Ford's chief sales analyst.
Higher fleet volume is an early indicator of future retail sales, said Ken Czubay, Ford's sales boss.
“We're heartened to see that fleets are coming back and they're buying Fords,” he said. “We hope this is a sign of economic recovery.”
GM boosted sales despite having almost no inventory at its discontinued brands. The numbers are even brighter for GM if brands being sold or killed are discounted.
Survivors are stronger
The four surviving brands -- Buick, GMC, Cadillac and Chevrolet -- were up 31 percent. Discontinued brands -- Saab, Pontiac, Saturn and Hummer -- lost 90 percent of volume to a mere 1,727 units. By Edmunds.com's count, GM cut its average incentive per vehicle by $35 since last January, to $3,103.
But the other 2009 bankruptcy survivor, Chrysler, continues to lose sales. A year ago, its January sales fell more than half to 62,157 vehicles. This year, sales fell 8 percent to 57,143.
Not only was Chrysler passed by Nissan at No. 5, upstart South Korean automaker Hyundai-Kia is gaining ground, with 52,626 sales last month.
But Chrysler did slash $1,230 off its average incentives in January and, at $3,061 per vehicle, has become the least generous of the Detroit 3.
Nissan, on the other hand, was the only major manufacturer to boost incentive spending in January -- up $302, to $2,455, Edmunds.com says. That may account for some of its 16 percent sales increase.
Subaru, the only brand with U.S. sales gains in each of the past two years, began 2010 with a 28 percent sales jump.
How much Toyota's recall woes will affect its sales is hard to determine. GM, Ford, Chrysler Group and Hyundai all launched incentives last week aimed at luring Toyota customers. But the effect in January is muted because the events came so late in the month.
No changes in conquests
Ford said today it didn't see any change in conquest sales based on the developments at Toyota. “Just a week into this announcement, it's very hard to predict what's going to happen,” said Ford's Pipas.
Shinichi Sasaki, Toyota's vice president in charge of quality, said today in Japan that the automaker's sales probably will take a hit. On Jan. 26, Toyota halted U.S. sales of eight models after a recall of 2.3 million vehicles tied to faulty accelerator pedals.
Beyond January, Toyota's sales shutdown will have a significant impact in the short term, David Sargent, vice president of automotive research at J.D. Power and Associates, said before today's results were released. He said Toyota probably will lose a few percentage points of market share in February.
“The bigger issue is what's the longer-term impact on their reputation and how that will affect sales going forward,” Sargent said. "What we know is that Toyota's sales are very heavily dependent on reputation for quality and safety."
Yesterday, Toyota said it had found the remedy to fix potentially sticky accelerator pedals in the recalled vehicles, but the company said it is expected to take some time for dealers to complete repairs.
