genesis needs the g70, suv/cuvs, a g80 refresh, and probably better dealers and marketing for the g90. the car is excellent (imo).
it will be interesting to see the effect tariffs have too.

There is nothing special about these cars and that needs to be remedied with the next iterations or the brand is done.

GM Gains Half a Point of Market Share as Chevrolet and GMC 2nd Quarter Deliveries Soar
2018-07-03
Add This- Double-digit gains or better for 14 vehicle lines, including every single Chevrolet and GMC pickup and SUV nameplate
- Strong Commercial sales growth continues
- Average transaction prices set a new second quarter record
- Chevrolet Bolt EV production to increase more than 20 percent
Highlights
- GM’s average transaction prices (ATPs) rose by about $300 year over year to a second quarter record of $35,500 on the strength of new crossovers such as the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave.
- Chevrolet saw record crossover deliveries in the second quarter and 1st half of 2018. It was the best-ever 2nd quarter and 1st half for the Trax and Traverse, and the best first half ever for the Equinox.
- Chevrolet and GMC delivered industry-leading pickup sales for the 2nd quarter and first half of 2018. Sales were up 21 percent in the 2nd quarter versus a year ago, and up 12 percent in the first half.
- Chevrolet and GMC’s clear leadership in the large SUV segment continued, with deliveries up 22 percent in the second quarter versus a year ago, and up more than 10 percent in the first half.
- Combined sales of pickups, large vans and SUVs increased 18 percent year over year to more than 366,000 units, the highest for any 2nd quarter since 2007. They were up 11 percent in the first half to almost 665,800 units.
- In the 2nd quarter, the all-new Buick Enclave and Regal were up 25 percent and 42 percent respectively. The Buick Encore had its best 2nd quarter and 1st half sales ever.
- The all-new GMC Terrain posted double-digit year-over-year gains for both the second quarter and 1st half of 2018. It was the best 1st half ever for the Terrain.
- Year over year, sales of the Cadillac Escalade increased 1 percent in the second quarter and they were up 4 percent in the first half. XTS deliveries were up 36 percent in the 2nd quarter and 16 percent in the 1st half.
Strong U.S. Demand
The U.S. light vehicle SAAR for the 2nd quarter and 1st half are both expected to be about 17.2 million units. The outlook for the 2nd half of the year also looks strong, according to GM Chief Economist Elaine Buckberg.“Tax reform raised take-home pay, consumer confidence is high and household balance sheets are healthy,” Buckberg said. “All of this plus a strong job market makes consumers more willing to commit to major purchases like vehicles.”Gross domestic product is expected to grow more than 4 percent in the 2nd quarter, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, which would make it the strongest 2nd quarter since 2014. In addition, the economy has seen 92 consecutive months of job creation through May, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.Cadillac Sets Stage for Growth
Cadillac delivered record calendar year-to-date crossover deliveries, with the XT5 showing year-over-year sales growth in 14 of the last 15 months.To build on this momentum, Cadillac will launch the XT4, its next all-new crossover, this fall. After that, Cadillac will introduce a new model roughly once every 6 months through the end of 2021.GM has already begun installing new tooling and equipment at its Lansing Grand River Assembly plant to build the next generation of Cadillac luxury cars, part of a more than half-billion-dollar manufacturing investment in the United States over the last two years to grow the brand’s sales in North America. In addition, GM has confirmed that its Spring Hill Assembly plant will build another new Cadillac crossover.Chevrolet Traverse Momentum
Chevrolet’s newest crossover, the 2018 Traverse, stands out as one of the most successful redesigns of any vehicle in the industry this year.- Sales in the first half of 2018 increased by more than 17,000 units, year over year.
- ATPs in the first half increased nearly $7,000 year over year, or more than 20 percent, while the segment average was up just 1 percent.
- Retail segment share in the first half climbed almost 3 percentage points year over year — the biggest gain of any midsize crossover or SUV.
Chevrolet Bolt EV Production to Increase More Than 20 Percent
U.S. and global demand for the Chevrolet Bolt EV has been very strong in 2018, with global sales estimated to be up more than 35 percent year over year in the second quarter and up more than 40 percent in the first half. In response, GM is increasing fourth quarter production by more than 20 percent compared to the average of the first three quarters.“Demand for the Chevrolet Bolt EV, especially in the United States, Canada and South Korea, has outstripped production,” McNeil said. “The extra production coming on line should be enough to help us keep growing global Bolt EV sales, rebuild our U.S. dealer inventory and bring us another step closer to our vision of a world with zero emissions.”Strong Commercial Sales Growth
The Commercial segment has been a source of significant growth for GM. Since 2012, sales to these fleet customers have grown 42 percent, which is an average annual rate of 7 percent. Commercial deliveries in the second quarter of 2018 were up 4 percent year over year and up 14 percent in the first half, thanks in part to very strong mid-size and large pickup sales.“Commercial customers tell us they prefer to do business with a company that can satisfy all their vehicle needs, and sedans are an important part of the mix because they typically offer very good safety, comfort, fuel economy and a lower total cost of ownership than other vehicle choices,” said McNeil. “Some automakers are scaling back their car offerings at the same time we are investing in the Chevrolet Cruze and Malibu, and expanding our truck and crossover portfolio. We see a terrific opportunity to forge new and stronger customer relationships with such a broad portfolio.” Other GM Highlights
- GM’s incentive spending as a percentage of ATP was 13.4 percent in the second quarter, down from 13.8 percent in the first quarter. The industry average for the second quarter was 11.8 percent.
- At the end of the second quarter, GM’s dealer inventory was approximately 787,500 units, down 193,000 units versus a year ago.
- GM’s fleet mix for the second quarter was 22 percent, reflecting strong Commercial demand and higher deliveries to daily rental companies due to the timing of customer orders. For the calendar year, daily rental deliveries are expected to be about 10 percent of total sales, in line with 2017.

RDX doing a great job. QX50 not so much but at least Q60 still remains relevant in coupe segment. Lexus really needs strong Acura and Infiniti numbers in other to fight of Germans down the road. LS is getting ready for a dip after initial release unfortunately but that is to be expected considering the lag they had in model replacement.

I think the RDX sold in large numbers due to the outgoing model, they are offering really good leases on them. I still feel the new Accord could sell better but it's own Civic is enough for most , the new CR-V offers a very roomy passenger\cargo package at a similar price, and the new Insight will make a small dent too on it's sales. I am curious to see how the QX50 will sell , it has a lot of poor reviews online. The new LS500 is only #2 in sales to the new S-Class in the full-size so I guess that's good, but i've only seen one or two on the road . The new E-Class and 5-Series are what I see all around here. Subaru has a huge winner with that Crosstrek, that sales jump is impressive, I maybe in the market for it myself in the end of the year.

That's what Lexus deserves for dragging their feet, taking forever to release new engines, and giving us so-so tech. I'll say it again, if it weren't for the reliability factor of Lexus, there would be no reason to purchase these cars. Lexus has become a follower, they're no longer a leader in the luxury car segment.

I think the G90 is still production limited, some dealerships still don't even carry them, it still sells okay for a flagship luxury sedan from a relatively unknown brand.
