I just can’t say how thrilled and anxious our retail partners are to see our new flagship GV80 SUV in their communities across America. It’s the embodiment of our new ‘Young Luxury’ brand positioning so eloquently launched by spokes-couple John Legend and Chrissy Teigen in our first-ever Super Bowl Ad yesterday.”

I cannot find some sales this month, like Toyota. Did they move to quarterly?

Nissan/Infiniti & VW/Audi/Porsche made announcements about the change in reporting but I have not seen anything from BMW & Mercedes ...

Thanks!

I don’t think they moved to quarterly. I don’t expect their sales to be up overall, but I do expect their hybrids to be off the charts for percentage growth.

Yea whatever KIA sold in January would have been in production a month or 2 ago and I'm sure they have enough parts in their inventory to last a few months perhaps so the virus situation will not affect it until a few months down the road. It could be that KIA and perhaps even Hyundai was overzealous with the price increases and put off many customers.

I believe Palisade production was shut down this week, so I would not expect the hit until next month.

that is not how car production works... they all try to use JIT, so they dont have much more than 20 days total incoming inventory... so whoever is depending on Chinese parts will really be hurt.

Yup, h/k is now out of wiring harnesses and has shutdown supposedly the largest auto making plant in the world.
