meanwhile, the cousin telluride's sales are up more ytd (1600) than the palisade is down. the telluride seems to have one the popularity contest among the two. oh and month selling days were less this year than last which affects monthly sales. of course you always find the negative to point out when it comes to hyundai/kia/genesis.

I am amazed car sales are strong given prices and interest rates, people carrying near $1000 a month payments. Still, I believe pre-COVID, the US was very near 19M units a year - and I don't think it will ever get back to that. Less people are leasing now, so more buyers mean the average age of new cars bought in this cycle is going to get much longer, not as much turnover. I know for myself, I went from being a 3 year lease flipper, now I bought an RX350 and will run that at least 6-7 years. And many people I know have made the same transition away from the 3 year lease flip.
I think the bottom is going to fall out once sub $30K EVs from Tesla and China hit the US market. That's going to seriously disrupt today's market, which seems focused only on $60K+ cars and putting people into 72 month loans with near $1000 a month payments. That can't last.

I think they will just further increase per unit costs honestly, less people are able to afford cars than ever before so might as well make as much money as possible off those who can.
Market has been trending away from cheaper cars for a decade now

not sure why the new posts in the Feb sales thread, but i think more people are leasing than ever, simple because lower payments (regardless of future).
