Dealers

Here are simple and basic resolutions every dealer should commit to for 2019.

Volkswagen of America sees a jump in deliveries of its Tiguan and Atlas SUVs, offsetting declines in car models.

Record light-truck results couldn’t offset declines in cars for both Toyota and Lexus brands last year.

GM’s sales reflect weakening consumer demand over the period, but also the automaker’s decision to slash production of passenger cars out of favor with Americans and requiring costly incentives to move off dealer lots.

Forty percent of drivers do online research on how to repair their vehicles before taking them to the shop.

A survey says one in three Americans would rather go to a DMV office, do their taxes or sit in an airplane’s middle seat than go through the hoops of buying a car.
