The forgotten American

There are some days, we learned that Chevrolet would not renew the SS, a decision that is due to industrial reasons (the Australian site that the product is doomed), but also because of sales with 2281 units over 10 months in 2014 its withdrawal should not put GM accounts in the red. I propose this morning to return to the US to other well discreet career, less than 10,000 sales since the beginning of the year.

- Cadillac ELR: she managed to sell less of that since the SS that has attracted 1,037 customers in 2014. Slight consolation after a disastrous first half, she now tends to exceed 100 monthly sales ( 152 in October) in the USA. We expect an update to Los Angeles and Cadillac says it will have offspring.

- Lincoln MKT: If the Ford Flex and its 20,233 sales in 10 months (- 6%) does not sink completely into the depths of the sales rank, the fact is not the same with his cousin Lincoln MKT that has found that 4063 customers, a decrease of 18.5% compared to the same period in 2013. its special physical obviously playing tricks on him and his conversion as a potential hearse or limousine, following the Town Car stop, will not have saved the sinking. It will not be directly replaced but an SUV based on the future Ford Explorer (which would be a propulsion) could integrate the catalog by the end of the decade.
- Lincoln MKS: She does much better that the MKT with 6784 new licensees (- 24.5%) and its poor result in offset crash tests the IIHS, the worst in its class, not arguing in his favor. The relief should arrive by 2016.
- Lincoln Navigator: although it can boast an increase of 4% since the beginning of the year, 7,208 units, its score remains ridiculous face the Cadillac Escalade and 23,495 units. It has just been restyled, it was announced in China and should have an aluminum successor.
- Dodge Viper nice increase in sales of the Viper in 2014 since it is 26% but this represents only 626 copies. Let us hope that the recent price drop of $ 15K this supercar allows him to at least double that score. FCA is nevertheless not willing to kill this model as evidenced by the CAB presented at the SEMA Show, which should finish the catalog.
- Ram C / V with 8,232 units, up 12%, the Chrysler Town & Country and the cargo version Dodge Grand Caravan leads a quiet career in the shadow of brand pickups that are part of the cash cows manufacturer of Auburn Hills. I do not know if it will be renewed with the change of generations of Chrysler but since it is not expensive to produce, it is possible.
- Ford Transit? with only 5567 sales for this van, he manufacturer of Dearborn will regret his decision to kill the E-Series? We'll see because frankly after a slow start, the Transit has attracted 2,257 customers in October. The coming months will tell if it is a flash in the pan or actual rise of this model.

Via GM, Ford, Chrysler
