U.S. new vehicle sales to fall in December as high prices deter buyers

Dec 21 (Reuters) - U.S. total new vehicle retail sales are expected to decline in December as high vehicle prices and rising borrowing costs pushed consumers to cut back spending, a report from industry consultants J.D. Power-LMC Automotive showed on Wednesday. “Elevated pricing, coupled with repeated interest rate increases, continue to inflate monthly loan payments," said Thomas King, president of the data and analytics division at J.D. Power. The average monthly payment for a new vehicle loan in December was $718, up $47 from a year ago, per the report. Retail sales of new vehicles this month are expected to touch over 1.04 million units, down 2.8% from last year. Total new vehicle sales in December, including retail and non-retail transactions, are likely to be over 1.25 million units, a 5.3% increase from last year, according to the report. The consultants expect retail sales in the United States to increase next year, with improving inventory levels. "Even with the probability of an economic downturn, pent-up consumer demand from the past two years will keep inventory levels relatively low," King said. Globally, vehicle sales are projected to end at 80.7 million units this year, a 1% contraction from 2021. They project global sales to grow 6% to 85.7 million units in 2023, even as markets grapple with the prospects of an economic recession. "We expect 2023 to carry a high level of risk and uncertainty as several markets could be dealing with a recession," Jeff Schust...

The data is in, and the best-selling cars of 2022 are exactly the cars you’d expect them to be, for the most part, even in the face of ongoing supply chain issues, inflation, and the generally turbulent economic situation. As wild as things may seem these days, people still have to get on with daily life, and in America, that frequently means buying a new car, SUV, pickup truck, or wagon. Here are the 25 best-selling cars of 2022. Since this list covers all sales over the 2022 calendar year, sales numbers include 2022 and 2023 model-year vehicles. 1. Ford F-Series Total Units Sold: 653,957 A regular at the top of the annual sales charts, the Ford F-Series, which includes the regular-duty F-150 as well as the heavy-duty F-250, F-350, and beyond, is once again the best-selling vehicle in the U.S. It’s also Kelley Blue Book’s Full-Size Truck Best Buy. 2. Chevrolet Silverado Total Units Sold: 513,354 Tough and capable as ever, the Chevrolet Silverado line of regular- and heavy-duty pickups is a close second behind the F-Series — and, if you combine it with the GMC Sierra a little further down this list, GM’s pickups would actually come out on top. If you’re looking for a tough, capable full-size pickup, the Silverado spans the gamut from work truck to luxury tow rig. 3. Ram Pickup Total Units Sold: 468,344 Confirming America’s ongoing love affair with trucks for both work and play, the Ram Trucks line of Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 pickups fill in the third spot, with its excelle...
