Seems like Mazda might be getting some traction with Skyactiv--they're up 20%Hyundai and Kia have had a great year--yet again. But at this point with their factories going flat out, I'm not sure show many more they can produce next year.
I think I read somewhere that the KIA factory in Georgia is now running three 8 hour shifts--24 hours a day! That alone boosted their capacity something like 100k units to c. 300,000+ a year....

Ford really dropped their retail incentives. Focus sales, for example, are not sustainable at a March sales level on an on going basis.#36 of 64 Re: Toyota sales built on fleets [gagrice] by anythngbutgm

I've read in a couple of placers that Toyota is filling orders for fleets that have been backordered due to last years tsunami.

"Almost halfway through the year, the auto industry keeps chugging along toward a mid-14 million unit sales pace, said Jessica Caldwell, Sr. Analyst at Edmunds.com. With continued pent-up demand and consumers gaining more and more access to credit, there's every reason to believe that sales can continue at this rate through the rest of the year.
