2020 Automotive Industry Sales Report

Updated: Aug 3, 2020

F&I Tools Key Points

GM is the only automaker in the Big 4 to sell over a million vehicles in the first half of 2020.

Last year: FCA, Ford, and Toyota were over 1 million by the midpoint.

Car sales are down 40% due to the pandemic, however the demand is steady and the data points to a swift recovery when the air clears.

Ford is the brand to watch with Bronco demand projecting a strong boost.

Nissan is on the other side of the spectrum - declining rapidly - falling out of the top 6, and in dire need of brand revamp.
