What a difference five years makes! When I started working here, every hot take artist in the game was out there wondering, “Why don’t the millennials buy cars?” And our answer to this was always: it’s the economy, stupid! The millennials weren’t buying brand new Mustangs two at a time because they were saddled with student loan debt, and just starting out with entry- level salaries, and in many cases moving to bigger cities to follow jobs where they didn’t necessarily need cars.

3 Ways to Profit From “Maturing” Millennials. There’s a major shift taking place in the market right now. One that is being driven by 80 million individuals.
As more millennials overcome this, many want the life of their baby- boomer parents — the kids, the house in the ’burbs and the beefy SUV. And here’s what that means for car sales, specifically: “There’s going to be an extra 2. Merkle said. “That’s going to lead to a gradual increase in the growth of large and midsize SUVs that’s already starting to happen.”Cars and houses tend to be a good measurement of health in any economy. If people aren’t buying houses and cars, your economy’s boned. Glad us millennials are doing our part, probably by saddling ourselves with insane levels of debt, just like mom and dad did. Gear: Your Car Is Worth Less Than You Think.
As regular Morning Shift readers are no doubt aware, the surge in new car sales in recent years—a surge that’s been dropping off as of late—has led to a glut of new cars on dealer lots. Many automakers like General Motors have a huge new car oversupply problem. And that’s kneecapping the used car market too, making it especially hard to sell your used car for a decent price at the moment, reports Bloomberg: Car sales in the U. S. have been rising for seven consecutive years now, and it’s denting the value of whatever is currently parked in your garage or driveway.
With so many new cars rolling out of dealerships lots and instantly becoming used cars, the secondary market is glutted and the pace of depreciation is rapidly accelerating. Your not- that- old car might not be a clunker quite yet, but it’s probably a lot closer than you think. The average used car lost 1. Black Book, an auto analytics company.
That annual depreciation figure has been increasing steadily, too. The average used car today depreciates nearly twice as fast at it did in 2.
We’ve got ourselves in an oversupply situation,” said Jim Hallett, chief executive officer of KAR Auction Services Inc., which sells about 5 million used cars every year. Nobody is interested in stockpiling inventory right now.” Translation: If you’re trading in a used car, don’t expect to get much of a deal. Emphasis mine. That sucks.
Gear: The Next Nissan Leaf Is Expected To Go Cheap. Automakers keep putting their eggs into the electric basket because that’s the future, but for right now, EVs are kind of a tough sell. Ask the Chevrolet Bolt about that.
A new Nissan Leaf is on the way too, but how can it appeal to buyers? Apparently, by being cheaper, reports Automotive News: According to unconfirmed reports, the Leaf will debut with an EPA- rated battery range of roughly 1. That is a sharp improvement from the outgoing Leaf, which has an EPA- rated range of 1. But it is significantly lower than General Motors’ new Chevrolet Bolt, which delivers about 2. Tesla Model S, which gets 2.
Nissan has not revealed its marketing plan for the new Leaf. But signals from the automaker suggest that the car eventually will come with more than one battery option, similar to a vehicle that is available with a four- cylinder or a V- 6 engine. Nissan’s strategy appears to focus initially on affordability — aiming for about $5,0. Bolt — rather than on industry- beating technology. But subsequent trim levels of the Leaf will include a battery with a greater range, and a higher sticker price. Nissan will now rely on an outside battery maker to pull that off. Yes, 1. 50 miles is better than the outgoing Leaf, but it seems to me the way to convert buyers to EVs is to sell them on range.
And I can see 1. 50 miles scaring away a lot of the regular- joe, fitbawl- watchin’ American buyer Nissan has spent years coveting with zero brand identity, blasé CVTs and TV ads boasting cash- on- hood deals. Gear: Germans Sad. In Germany, the VW Group, BMW and Mercedes all face questions about whether they colluded to bring down parts costs, in some cases for parts possibly used to lower diesel emissions.
The government has ordered an overhaul of millions of diesel cars, and more and more European cities are mulling diesel car bans at some point. Watch Transporter 2 Full Movie. It’s all very bad news for Germany, the home of diesel power, and its vitally important auto industry.
And investors are feeling the sadness feelings over it, reports Reuters: The mood among German investors fell for the third month running in August, a survey showed on Tuesday, linking the drop to an emissions scandal engulfing the country’s car industry. The sector’s reputation and the “clean” diesel technology at its core has been battered since Volkswagen admitted in 2. U. S. emissions tests to conceal polluting fumes. Last month EU antitrust regulators opened an investigation into claims of collusion among German carmakers over pricing diesel emissions treatment systems. More and more, the end of diesel seems to be on the horizon. Gear: Everyone Wants Jeep. Our own David Tracy believes that Fiat Chrysler’s potential sale of Jeep—and only Jeep—to Chinese automaker Great Wall would be monumentally stupid for FCA.
David’s a smart guy, but you don’t have to be smart to see what a terrible deal this is. It’s common sense, and FCA losing its best and most lucrative brand would be the kind of shoot- your- own- dick- off move destined to be taught as a bad example in business schools for decades to come. Who agrees? Everyone else who has eyes, reports The Detroit News: Many analysts think selling Jeep on its own – not as part bigger deal for the automaker as a whole or with other parts of its operations – could be a mistake. The Agnelli family, which controls the majority of Fiat Chrysler, has long sought to exit the volume- car business, said Dave Sullivan, an analyst with Auto.
