Our Take Brand & Corporation Rankings

This month marks the end of the first quarter giving us a look at Ford and GM’s sales numbers for the first time in the year.

Overall, more brands saw quarterly decreases than saw quarterly increases. That doesn’t necessarily bode well for the industry as a while. The increases, too, were on average more modest than the decreases, which further supports the case that sales are down. Two brands that stand out in terms of positive quarterly sales, include Jaguar and and Ram.

From a monthly perspective, Ram, Kia, VW, Mitsubishi, Volvo, and Jaguar all saw double-digit percentage increases over this time last year. Eight other brands also saw sales increases, though less pronounced. All other brands saw sales drop.

From a corporation standpoint, the sales breakdown was similar. More corporations saw sales decreases than increases. Most of those increases were modest whereas the sales decreases were more pronounced. There’s still a lot of 2019 to go, but first-quarter sales weren’t very strong.
