Wow all Lexus SUVs dropped in sales. NVM the UX, it has no comparative data and even then the sales volume is pretty low outsold by the GX even.

Ha. In terms of percentage-wise, most of the sedans and hatchbacks actually outperformed the trucks and SUVs in rate of sales-increase. So much for the B.S. notion that the sedan market is dying. :rolleyes:

Perhaps, but this is just one month from one manufacturer. The CUV/SUV trend has been going on for a number of years. Too early to claim B.S. notion.:D

As LexBob said, one month blip for sedans, which have been hammered hard, hence potential for some big upticks with heavy incentives, vs SUVs which are nearly running at their peak.

And of course as more and more automakers exit the sedan market, the ones that remain can hopefully lure some of those customers over.

As more and more SUV hybrids come out, consumers may see less need for the fuel economy benefit that sedans hold. Look at how big of a mix RAV4 hybrid is now, it was 25% mix last month. That's huge, more than double last year's May.

FCA Reports May 2019 U.S. Sales

Sales chart (pdf)

• Ram brand achieves 12th consecutive monthly record as May sales rise 29 percent
  • Jeep® Grand Cherokee notches best May ever as sales rise 18 percent
    • Dodge Charger reports highest May in six years as sales reach 9,296 vehicles

June 3, 2019 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC achieved three records in May, led by the Ram brand which notched its 12th consecutive monthly sales record as demand for both light-duty and heavy-duty pickup trucks remained strong.

It was the best May ever for the Jeep® Grand Cherokee and the highest level of May sales for the Dodge Charger in six years. Overall, total sales rose 2 percent to 218,702 vehicles. Fleet represented 31 percent of total sales during the month. On a year-to-date basis, fleet accounted for 22 percent of sales.

"On a year-over-year basis we have increased our average transaction prices by more than $3,000 a vehicle and still managed some notable sales increases," said Reid Bigland, U.S. Head of Sales. “In its first full month on sale, our all new Jeep Gladiator pickup truck delivered more than 2,500 vehicle sales, our Ram pickup truck sales soared 33 percent and the Jeep Grand Cherokee delivered its best May sales ever.”

See the attached table for the breakdown of brand and nameplate sales.

Method of Determining FCA US LLC’s Monthly Sales. FCA US’s reported vehicle sales represent unit sales of vehicles to retail customers, deliveries of vehicles to fleet customers and to others such as FCA US’s employees and retirees as well as vehicles used for marketing. Most of these reported sales reflect retail sales made by dealers out of their own inventory of vehicles previously purchased by them from FCA US. Reported vehicle units sales do not correspond to FCA US’s reported revenues, which are based on FCA US’s sale and delivery of vehicles, and typically recognized upon shipment to the dealer or end customer. As announced on July 26, 2016, FCA US has modified its methodology for monthly sales reporting as follows:

• Sales to retail customers by dealers in the U.S. are derived from the New Vehicle Delivery Report (“NVDR”) system and are determined as the sum of (A) all sales recorded by dealers during the month net of all unwound transactions recorded to the end of that month (whether the original sale was recorded in the current month or any prior month); plus (B) all sales of vehicles during that month attributable to past unwinds that had previously been reversed in determining monthly sales (in the current or prior months).
  • Fleet sales are recorded upon the shipment of the vehicle by FCA US to the customer or end user.
    • Other retail sales are recorded either (A) when the sale is recorded in the NVDR system (for sales by dealers in Puerto Rico and limited sales made through distributors that submit NVDRs in the same manner as for sales by U.S. dealers) or (B) upon receipt of a similar delivery notification (for vehicles for which NVDRs are not entered such as vehicles for FCA employees).
