SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. REPORTS NOVEMBER 2022 SALES INCREASE OF 51.7 PERCENT OVER NOVEMBER 2021
Automaker Reports First Sales of All-Electric Subaru Solterra
Subaru of America, Inc. (SOA) today reported 50,138 vehicle sales for November 2022, a 51.7 percent increase compared with November 2021 (33,045). The automaker also reported year-to-date sales of 499,821, a 6.2 percent decrease compared with the same period in 2021.
“We are excited to enter the final month of the year with another month of strong sales despite ongoing supply chain challenges, and we thank our retailers for continuing to demonstrate the highest level of sales efficiency and unparalleled customer service,” said Thomas J. Doll, President and CEO, Subaru of America, Inc. “We are also proud to again be closing out the year with our annual Subaru Share the Love® Event – now in its 15th year. From Thursday, November 17, 2022, through Tuesday, January 3, 2023, Subaru will donate $250 to the purchaser's choice of charity, letting car buyers give back to the organizations that mean the most to them*.”
In November, Outback was the top performer by volume with 15,069 sales and a 44.2 percent increase compared with the same period in 2021. The Forester saw a 147.7 percent increase compared to November 2021, while the Crosstrek increased by 101 percent and the Legacy posted a 110.9 percent increase.

SOA also reported the first sales of the all-electric SUV, the Subaru Solterra, totaling 94 vehicles for the month.
“This month we exceeded November 2021 sales by a wide margin, and we had our first customer deliveries of our all-new EV, Solterra,” said Jeff Walters, Senior Vice President of Sales. “We also debuted the all-new 2024 Subaru Impreza at the LA Auto Show, complete with a sporty new design, enhanced safety features and updated technology, giving those in the market for a new vehicle something to look forward to this spring.”
Still, US auto unit sales for 2022 may be down 20% from their 17 million peak a couple of years ago. And higher financing rates, plus the price increases on cars and dealer markups, will push sales even lower in 2023. But the automakers don't care, inflation gives them the ability to produce fewer cars and charge more for them and there still seem to be plenty of people willing to pay. The auto market will never return to "normal" again.

^^ Thank you, If I saw this on youtube just browsing around I wouldn't take it serious but since a CL member dropped it I will give it a chance and check it out.
It's screaming clickbait, man with scared look on his face and Yellow Caution sign, etc even tho it may be legit.
Guessing it's very competitive out there to get the message to intended audience when everyone else is using clickbait tactics too so how does one separate themselves these day, I don't know.
I made a youtube once on some technical stuff and got like 70 views so I took it down. lol
It may look like clickbait but the underlying facts presented are accurate. See the other thread running now about how ADMs are going away at Mercedes. Unit auto sales in the US have fallen 20% from the 17 million per year pre-covid number, so the demand decline is real. The manufacturers and dealers didn't care for a while, because they could reduce supply, raise prices on the cars they had, charge ADMs - and the buyers who had to be in the market, paid anything to get cars. That's ending now, and that will accelerate in 2023 as the recession and even higher rates, digs in.

Just watched your video, enjoyed it.
When I saw the young host is when I realized where the video art came from. lol
"Gramps" is saying car buying conditions are getting better so that's good news.
Only thing I wonder is putting so much blame on dealers for being greedy.
Anyone around long enough to know what happened to the dealers in the early 90's saw the dealers going out of business left and right and terrifying times to be in the business..
So I have to wonder if they did it out of fear expecting what coming now is exactly what they were expecting.
