Not a lot of great news in the car sales business this year, at least from the automakers who report sales monthly. Through August 2022, cars sales were off by over 400,000 vehicles and that is just from the car companies we can see. We’ll have a more complete picture after the September sales are reported.
In spite of the chip shortage, Toyota is dominating with the Camry and Corolla, far outselling Honda Accord and Civic and it’s not even close.
