U.S. sales expected to fall in Oct. for third straight month
DETROIT -- A fire at Ford’s world headquarters on Monday is forcing the company to delay the release of October sales results for the U.S. until later in the week.
The fire at an electrical substation interrupted power at the Dearborn, Mich., headquarters and nearby Ford Credit office buildings, as well as to one of Ford’s main data centers that the company and dealers use to report and track U.S. deliveries, Ford said late Monday.
"While battery backups worked as intended to protect data saved in the system, the lack of full power resulted in the data center being shut down for most of Monday’s business day, and dealers were unable to report final-day sales," Ford said in a statement.
Automakers are scheduled to release U.S. sales results for October on Tuesday.Analysts polled by Bloomberg expect Ford's U.S. sales to decline 11 percent in October amid an overall decline in industry volume. The company said its monthly U.S. sales conference call for media and analysts will resume with November’s sales report on Dec. 1.
Ford was forced to evacuate the headquarters early Monday because of the fire that started in the basement.
A Ford spokesman said a fire started in an electrical substation below the 12-story building. Firefighters contained the flames after the building’s electrical power was shut off, the spokesman said in an update at 10:40 a.m. Eastern.
No injuries were reported. At noon, Ford said evacuated employees were being sent home for the rest of the day.
The building, known locally as the “Glass House,” opened in 1956. It is scheduled for major renovations beginning in 2021.

Let me get this straight. A Fortune 10 company with $150B in annual revenue doesn't have backup generators for their headquarters or primary datacenter? I had both before we hit $50M.

Also, even without the fire, it would probably have been too early today to compile all the October statistics anyway, since some Ford dealers were open yesterday, and selling cars right up through yesterday evening.

Chevrolet and Buick Post Big Retail Sales and Share Gains Keeping GM the Fastest-Growing Full-line Automaker
2016-11-01
Add This- Chevrolet U.S. retail sales up 6 percent for best October since 2004
- Buick U.S. retail sales up 7 percent for best October since 2003
- GMC sets brand’s all-time record for October ATP at $43,988
Led by Chevrolet and Buick, GM’s U.S. retail market share rose to its highest October level since 2009. Based on initial estimates, GM’s retail market share jumped 1.6 percentage points in October to 18.1 percent, the largest retail market share gain of any manufacturer. GM has gained retail market share in 16 of the past 19 months.
Chevrolet’s October U.S. retail sales were up 6 percent compared to last year, the brand’s best October since 2004. Buick’s October U.S. retail sales were up 7 percent, the brand’s best October since 2003.
Chevrolet gained 1.4 percentage points of U.S. retail market share in October to 12.3 percent. Chevrolet has gained U.S. retail market share in 9 out of 10 months this year, and remains the industry’s fastest-growing full-line brand. Buick gained 0.2 percentage points of retail market share in October.
In addition, GMC set an all-time October record for the brand’s ATP or Average Transaction Price of $43,988, up more than $1,800 over last October’s performance.
GM’s total U.S. sales in October were 258,626 vehicles, down less than 2 percent from last year. In addition, GM’s daily rental sales were down approximately 8,000 vehicles or about 19 percent in October compared to last year, as planned.
“GM’s October performance reflects the strength of our retail business and our operating discipline. We gained profitable retail share in October while spending less than the industry average on incentives and commanding the industry’s best average transaction prices for any full-line automaker,” said Kurt McNeil, GM’s vice president of U.S. sales operations. “We will continue our disciplined approach and focus on retail in a strong industry.”
In October, GM’s incentive spending as a percent of ATP was 11.7 percent, below the industry average of 11.8 percent.
GM’s ATPs, which reflect retail transaction prices after sales incentives, were $36,155 in October, more than $4,650 above the industry average and more than $1,000 above last October’s performance.

Year to date, Buick retail deliveries have grown nearly 4 percent and Buick has gained 0.1 percentage points of retail share.
GM continues to benefit from a strong U.S. economy.“Key fundamentals like job security, rising personal incomes, low fuel prices and low interest rates continue to provide the environment for a very healthy U.S. auto industry,” said Mustafa Mohatarem, GM’s chief economist. “The U.S. auto industry is well positioned for sales to continue at or near record levels for the foreseeable future.”

The Q5 remained the brand’s volume SUV, with 3,772 vehicles sold. Sales of the Q3 SUV rose to 1,944, a 119 percent gain from last October and sales of the new Q7 rose 33 percent to 2,798.

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Nov. 1, 2016 – Strong demand for the Santa Fe Sport and Tucson has propelled Hyundai Motor America to its best October ever with sales up slightly over a year ago. Hyundai Motor America sales totaled 62,505 vehicles.
Hyundai Division posts sales of 61,304 units
“Sales of our upgraded 2017 Santa Fe Sport were up a strong 17 percent in October, helping Hyundai Motor America achieve its fifth-consecutive month of year-over-year sales gains,” said Derrick Hatami, vice president of national sales for Hyundai Motor America. “We also announced today the release of the all-new 2017 Elantra Value Edition, which offers shoppers additional features at no extra cost.”
Building upon the success of the prior-generation Elantra Value Edition, the 2017 model year version pushes the savings even further, eclipsing the benchmark set by the 2016 offering. The Value Edition includes a power sunroof, Blind Spot Detection, power driver’s seat, proximity key with push button start and hands-free smart trunk, heated front seats and much more.

“Following its launch earlier this year, the very 1st Genesis G90 customers are now enjoying their new cars,” said Erwin Raphael, general manager of Genesis in the U.S. market. “Every Genesis store in the country now has at least one G90 onsite so customers can experience the car 1st hand and take one for a test drive. This marks another milestone for the luxury brand as it continues to grow.”
