Hi Bill:

If you see anything I need to correct, by all means, let me know.

I am sure the EPA used to but with all the budget cutting, it may be getting lost? Given the massive switch to CUV/SUVs and Pickups, I have to assume it is being pulled back despite the 2025 hard targets?

I will look around as it should not take to many Google searches?

Wayne

 

Hi Bill:

I pulled some 2018 F-150 EPA data since that is the number one vehicle sold in the U.S. today. By 2025, its "un-adjusted" combined rating needs to be just 32.1 mpg. The base F-150 in RWD trim with the 2.7L EcoBoost is rated at 29.5 mpg un-adjusted. Nobody is averaging anywhere near 29.5 mpg in that pickup but it only needs another 2.5 mpg and it meets the 2025 target.

As for the rest, I have no idea?

Wayne

 

Hi Bill:

It has got to be in here somewhere???

Hyundai’s Global November 2017 Sales total 422,940 units, Down 10.4%

Hyundai's global sales results for November 2017, reached 422,940 vehicles.

Overseas sales were down 13.6 percent due to a drop in automobile demand in major markets.

Domestic market sales increased by 12.8 percent compared to the previous year, with 63,895 vehicles sold. Sales increased mainly due to strong demand in new products such as Grandeur (sold as Azera in some markets), Sonata sedans and Tucson mid-size CUV.

Hyundai plans to continuously deliver various sales programs that can maintain strong customer satisfaction to overcome sluggish global demands and rising uncertainties in both emerging and developed markets, with tailored market strategies and strong product line-up.
