November 2010 Monthly Sales Thread
* Hyundai Motor Nov sales up 1.4% from a year ago
* Hyundai considers factory shutdown as strike prolonged
* Kia monthly sales up 33% to hit record high
SEOUL, Dec 1 - Hyundai Motor <005380.KS> reported the worst November sales among South Korean automakers on Wednesday, as a prolonged strike at its biggest local production base hit output and sales of its best-selling subcompact car.* Hyundai considers factory shutdown as strike prolonged
* Kia monthly sales up 33% to hit record high
But shares of Hyundai jumped nearly 4% as the almost flat sales growth was better than most had feared, although Hyundai warned on Wednesday that it was seriously considering shutting down the affected plant in Ulsan due to a strike by temporary workers.
Since Nov. 15, Hyundai's subcontracted employees have occupied the factory that produces subcompact cars such as the Verna and the new Accent, demanding the automaker convert their positions into permanent ones.
Labour unrest has often caused disruptions in Asia's 4th-largest economy, although Hyundai has avoided an annual strike by regular workers this year for the 2nd consecutive year.
South Korea's auto industry typically faces strike action every summer but they avoided such industrial action this year amid the economic slowdown.
Hyundai said on Wednesday unionised workers also attempted to occupy another plant in Ulsan, disrupting output, while temporary workers at its Jeonju plant have also been waging a partial strike.
The industrial action has caused a production loss of about 220 billion won so far, Hyundai said.
"The strike will not have a major impact on its revenue because the affected plant produces subcompact models, and the South Korean currency remains favourable," Suh Sung-moon, an analyst at Korea Investment & Securities, said.
Hyundai saw its total sales rise by 1.4% to 314,569 units in November from a year ago, but domestic sales slumped 13%, also partly due to the high base effect.
Hyundai has refused to negotiate in what it calls an illegal strike and said a plant shutdown would slash affected regular workers' pay to 70% of normal levels.
Regular workers have not joined the strike yet and plan to vote on Friday whether to join the temporary employees' industrial action.
"It will be difficult for temporary workers to continue the sit-in strike as regular workers oppose it, and Hyundai Motor is getting tough with the strike," said Lee Sang-hyun, an analyst at NH Investment & Securities.
Kia <000270.KS>, South Korea's No.2 carmaker, saw its monthly sales jump 33% to a record 222,116 units in November, helped by strong sales of new models such as K5 sedan and Sportage R SUV.
Growing concerns over European debt crisis may hit overseas sales in the coming months but Korean automakers are set to outperform the market, driven by new models, competitiveness in compact cars and a weak local currency, analyst say.
"Auto demand is expected to contract in Europe next year as the euro zone fiscal crisis persists. But Hyundai and Kia plan to launch a series of new cars next year and that will help them outperform the market," Lee at NH said.

That's a lot of big talk there from the analysts.
So Hyundai is launching new models next year, and is the competition just sitting back? Of course not, a lot of the competition is launching new models next year as well. I don't see how that automatically means Hyundai will outperform the market.
Besides, Hyundai and other Korean companies must be worried about what could happen if the latest conflict with the North escalates.

Japan & Europe
Automakers are set to release their November new car sales figures for the North American market later today, but the news out of Japan and Europe is bleak.
Japanese sales were down for the 3rd straight month; excluding minicars, sales were down 31% last month, the biggest annual fall on record for year-over-year November sales. Toyota saw sales dip 35% and Honda slid 38%.
Europe’s debt crisis, which spread rapidly from Greece to Ireland and is now zeroing in on Spain and Portugal, helped push sales down across the euro zone. Sales in Spain were down 26%, thanks in part to a now-expired scrapping incentive and an increased value-added tax.
More European and global sales figures will be released later today, as will North American numbers.
France, meanwhile, dropped just 11%. Its 500 euro government-sponsored scrapping incentive is still in place and domestic automakers are offering up their own incentives to lure buyers into showroom.

Thanks GS69, December came fast.
Yeah Japan's car incentive dropped 3 months ago and sales have stunk since then. Europe just bailed out Ireland but other countries may follow, a LOT of worrying over there over debt.
As TRD stated the N/S Korea issue also hurts and a S Korea head spy said today expect more attacks.

DEARBORN, Mich., Dec. 1, 2010 – Consumer demand for Ford Motor Company’s fresh lineup of high-quality, fuel-efficient vehicles boosted November sales 24 percent versus a year ago, with 147,338 units sold.
Year-to-date, Ford, Lincoln and Mercury sales totaled 1.74 million, up 21 percent – growing at double the overall industry rate. Ford remains on track to gain market share for the second year in a row – a result not achieved since 1993.
“With our strongest-ever line of products, we’re pleased to see more signs the economy is growing and the demand for new vehicles is increasing,” said Ken Czubay, Ford vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service. “Ford’s broad range of high-quality, fuel-efficient vehicles is driving one of our best years ever and positioning Ford to deliver improved results in the future.”

Focus sales were up 28 percent in November. An all-new Focus debuts early in 2011.
In November, Ford’s retail share of the key small car segment increased 50 percent versus a year ago, as the combined retail share of Fiesta and Focus reached almost 10 percent.
With one month remaining in 2010, Fusion already has set a new full-year sales record. In November, Fusion sales were 17,647, up 28 percent. Year-to-date, Fusion sales totaled 196,590, eclipsing the previous full-year sales record of 180,671 set last year.
Sales for the Lincoln MKZ were up 48 percent versus a year ago. The MKZ Hybrid accounted for 21 percent of retail sales of the 2011 MKZ.

These products are the company’s first models to offer MyFordTouch and MyLincolnTouch – state-of-the-art technology to better connect drivers with their vehicle information, entertainment and on-board technologies.
The new Ford Edge also features best-in-class horsepower and unsurpassed V6 highway fuel economy. The new Lincoln MKX offers best-in-class fuel economy and 305 horsepower – an increase of 40 hp versus the prior model.

Sales for Ford’s F-Series truck were up 26 percent versus a year ago. Year-to-date sales for America’s best-selling truck reached 473,461, well beyond last year’s full-year total of 413,625.
Production of the 2011 F-150 is under way with an all-new powertrain lineup, including a 3.5-liter EcoBoost and a new six-speed transmission that will deliver class-leading capability and fuel economy. This truck lineup will provide up to 20 percent more fuel efficiency than the 2010 models. F-150 pickups with the new 3.7-liter V6, 5.0-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 will be in dealer showrooms this month. The F-150 with EcoBoost will be available for sale early next year.
