Sales for Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, and GMC are all up. As a whole, GM’s first-quarter sales in the US were up 17.6% compared to last year. Get past the good news you’ll notice something strange with the figures. GMC reported that it only delivered two Hummer EV Pickup trucks. TFLtruck first spotted the odds earlier this month.

Hoping for a deal on a new pickup truck? Inventory is piling up, and discounts could make a comeback.

By on
An old, unwritten rule of car sales tells dealers and factories to work together to keep about a 60-day supply of each new vehicle on hand for sale, with another 15 days on order or in transit. That, the pragmatism says, means that dealers have the most color and feature combinations a buyer could want in easy reach.

Ford F, -0.80% has more than a 90-day supply of its F-150…

By on
It almost seems hard to believe, but the mighty Dodge Hellcat appeared on the scene in 2015 with 707 horsepower from a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine. Not only does the Hellcat have a stirring name, its insane amount of power and exhilarating performance ensured Dodge’s place in the muscle car wars against Ford and Chevrolet. Unfortunately, the muscle car era is coming to an end. In typical Dodge fashion, it wants that end to be loud and smokey with the introduction of the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170. The name that Dodge chose for its “Last Call” special-edition muscle…

By on
The best Black Friday deals this year come with low-interest financing as low as zero percent. getty Although the frenzied chaos of Black Friday early bird shopping has tempered somewhat in recent years, the weekend after Thanksgiving remains one of the busiest and most bargain-packed periods of the year for retailers. It’s no exception with the new-car business, except that this year, especially given razor-thin dealer inventories and sky-high prices that have plagued the business in recent months, the slam dunk year-end clearance deals have all but dried up.
