F&I Tools key points

Toyota was the #1 automaker worldwide for the 2nd year in a row for 2021.

Chinese automaker, Changan, had the strongest year-over-year performance, up 15% worldwide. Tesla had tremendous gains, up 87% worldwide, but fell short of 1 million units and did not make our top 15 list in 2021.

As supply deficiencies settle, it becomes ever clearer that a swift rebound followed by a gradual increase into new EV markets will emerge and be led by the manufacturers brave enough to ally with global rivals.
